I am an advanced hobbiest with a need for the realtime kernel as I have 
4 machines running linuxcnc, + this one, and potentially 3 3d printers 
running armbian and klipper. Totally non commercial as anyone 91 yo 
should be.  I have one design for a woodworkers vise screw I may offer 
for sale. I can probably build my own realtime kernel for both arm64 and 
x86-64's but would prefer to have support. Historically I've $25k in all 
this and under $100 income from it over the last 25 years.

In what category would I be placed?

Thank you.

Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.
