Minimum Computer Requirements
I looked up the specs for Candle https://github.com/Denvi/Candle says it will run on very minimum hardware. Windows/Linux x86, CPU with SSE2 instruction set support, Graphics card with OpenGL 2.0 support, 120 MB free storage space.

can someone help me identify what type of machine this is?
The sainsmart getting started guide is decent enough, worth checking out. I'm pro usb-ing it to a computer (Raspberry pi w/ a touchscreen in my case) & using Candle to drive it, and fusion 360 to generate toolpaths (.nc) files for it. The sainsmart guide covers all that mostly.

How much time does it take to make PCB and 2d engravings from images?
I used Candle for awhile (https://github.com/Denvi/Candle). Mach 4 can do it, but I haven't tried with a PCB.

Impulse bought a CNC Machine, Plz Send help
Personally in my setup I use Fusion360 for CAD, CAM and POST, sometimes on complicated/organic models I do the CAD in Blender instead and just import it into Fusion for the CAM/POST, and for a sender I use a little app called Candle (picked it because it had some nice utilities for etching out PCBs which is how I got into CNC), but there's plenty options out there.

Esp8266 pulse counter. Milled PCB.
I am using pcb2gcode for generating my files for the engraver. https://github.com/pcb2gcode/pcb2gcodeGUI . For commanding the mill I am using Candle. https://github.com/Denvi/Candle . This works very nicely.

UGS opening file issue
This is probably caused by a cache bug (https://github.com/winder/Universal-G-Code-Sender/issues/2332). You can try and delete C:\Users\\AppData\Local\ugsplatform\Cache\

Can I connect my laptop to my desktop CNC with a bluetooth usb dongle?
Get a raspberry pi, https://www.raspberrypi.org/, throw UGS https://winder.github.io/ugs_website/ or cnc.js https://cnc.js.org/ on it.

Cannot figure out why Universal GCode Sender won't connect to my Arduino Mega 2560. Any idea what's wrong?? Details in comments

Problems with UGS and grbl 1.1. It is constantly spamming this, I can't do anything without it starting again. Have restarted and reset everything, I'm at a loss. Appreciate any help
In that case I'm interested in your log files. I would appreciate a bug report so that I can investigate this further: https://github.com/winder/Universal-G-Code-Sender/issues/new/choose

What software are you using with your Inventables Carvey?
I was looking at other options and since I've used UGS on another machine I researched it a bit and found mentions of Carvey using a custom grbl implementation called gcarvin and while it's mentioned that support was added to UGS through the controller list, it doesn't show up and I haven't been able to find any more info.

Has anyone ever used a stepper motor as their spindle? (GRBL question)
It looks like UGS supports multiple axes if your controller does. https://github.com/winder/Universal-G-Code-Sender/issues/1068

GRBL Error 33 from Arduino Sender, but not from UGS
UGS does indeed have an arc to segment converter: https://github.com/winder/Universal-G-Code-Sender/blob/master/ugs-core/src/com/willwinder/universalgcodesender/gcode/processors/ArcExpander.java
