I have tried HiveOS on a stick and it works a lot better than anything else I have tired on Linux!!
It wend from 20-21MH/s to 29MH/s!!
Under windows I get 31.9MH/s, but everyone - except one person on this forum, who does not respond to PMs LOL - gets a little less than under windows.

Problem is that I need to run it in a VM, as I do not have dedicated hardware.
Would it be possible to create an img files that only has one partition, so that I can run it in libVirt?
I can modify the configs myself, once the system is up and running.
Would REALLY, REALLY appreciate it!!!
Not sure what happened, but downloaded the latest image again and tried to import into VM and it worked like a charm.
will setup cards now
