I also think that there is no better operating system than Linux, but for some reason many people are afraid to switch to it. although I dont see any advantage in favor of windows. Well, except that updating the firmware on a video card is a little more convenient in Windows
The learning curve for linux is extremely steep, and many of the posters on here do not have deep technical knowledge to begin with. I am a sys admin and before mining I had barely dabbled in linux just because it was so time consuming to learn. There is a wealth of information out there, but even something simple as setting a static ip can take over 30 minutes of searching and reading if you have never done it before. The world of mining has brought me from a novice linux user to an intermediate one haha. Windows definitely has to be more convenient when it comes to overlocking and stuff like that.
Amen. I run a few mining rigs and Windows is a 'Love/Hate' thing. But it's the environment I work, live and mine in. So we it comes time to spending the extra hour or two to learn something, I find doing it in Windows has extra benefits for me. Now, I totally get WHY Linux users love Linux, but it's a lot like religion - I got mine and you got yours.
Now, should we argue between Apple and Samsung
(Edit: BTW - I'm using the "Guest" fix along with O&O Shut Up 10. Great little fix!)
