Just wanted to give a big shout out to Phil & the others who recommended moving to SMOS for a couple of problem W10/470-4GB rigs! I finally got SMOS installed, up and running last night on the one where windows was corrupted and it ran perfectly for 18 hours before I had to shut it down to control heat in my house. I thought it would be great from the comments here and reviewing some of its capabilities, but I am even more pleased now that I got over the hump.

My main issue in delaying was SMOS not having Wi-fi, but that Wi-fi to LAN converter that Phil recommended a few pages back is working perfectly! So, I ordered 1 more of those today, which should get my other problem rig running on SMOS as soon as it cools down a bit here. I will likely convert my other 2 Radeon rigs over to SMOS as well, since not having to worry about drivers or other W10 issues is worth way more than their $2 fee to me! My 2 w10 1070ti rigs continue to work without any issues, so will just l leave those as is for now.

I'm also half way to building a 6x 5700 rig. Luckily i still had a mobo, CPU & 1500w PSU left over from 2018, so it's literally just the cost of the GPU's to get that going.

wifi is in the works says the developer so it will a great addition to SMOS.

Like you, I dumped Windows way back in 2016 and tested Linux instead, then found SMOS v1 very very crude and buggy then but oh boy how it has improved over the years (see SMOS bitcointalk forum, discord) huge community and I recalled we even had a community discussion about the pros and cons of features, 2$ pricepoint, etc.
