Do you even know how to operate Linux? Sorry for the doubting question because I don't like running Linux for mining, it's better to get Linux based OS that are created for mining purposes only, they are easier and even stable than windows, I use Minerstat OS and HiveOS
I know nothing about Linux, that's kind of why I wanted to try it out. I was going to just install HiveOS, but isn't there monthly fees with that? I don't want to pay fees on one GPU.
with HiveOS you get one free worker to mine any were and up to 4 workers aka Rigs free if you mine eth/etc on there pools.
