Just wanted to say that this is not needed on linux.
I'm mining with 5x1080ti (using almost all of the gpu ram), 4gb system ram and 2gb swap.
Looking forward to the Linux version.
Yes, Linux version should be OK without those manipulations.
I'm still waiting for alexkap and Linux builds, but he seems to disappear completely, I'm starting to worry about him.
He's from country other than I live in and I can't even come and visit him.
If he won't show himself, I'll switch to Linux builds myself (will have to setup Linux developement machine first).
