Hi guys, I have a pc that I would like to mine on for educational purposes.

Currently the PC is linux, ubuntu CLI.
My experience with linux is newbie level, about 3 months in.

Can I ask for some newbie help with regards to mining in a stratum pool?

#1: What is stratum?
#2: Which client should I use to mine for different algorithms? What is the best client to use?
#3: How do I install a project from github?


Thank you!
