It's not a lot more difficult in LinuxCNC.

Open the INI file for your config and change the entry

DISPLAY = axis

to
DISPLAY = tklinuxcnc
DISPLAY = gscreen
 or
DISPLAY = gmoccapy
to see three alternative UIs.
You can also try touchy, but that needs you to create a touchy.hal file
(which is meant to connect the mandatory jog wheel for that interface)
