While they are working on Windows, they are developing their own Kryptex OS.

Systems such as hive OS are more convenient for manual mining management.
HiveOS is ugly

in my opinion. User interface is a pain, looks so shitty, no realtime GPU clocks -> the biggest problem.
Example:
RX570 set gpu voltage to 900 and memvoltage to 850 - if i check the check with amd-info it show me exactly this what i set - but in real the GPU run with 900mv and the mem run with 900mv, because it is not possible for the hardware to set different voltages

Why are no free Mining OS or something like this out there? Why no open source management system. This paying for a service every month is stupid.
Almost everyone I knew loves hiveOS not because of its look but because it works better than many OS out there but since you called it ugly what mining OS is your favourite?
I use AwesomeMiner with Windows and Linux clients. But Awesomeminer main application must run on Windows, but can be reached over browser if you want. On HiveOS i missing to much information in the overview, with Awesomeminer i can decide by myself what information i want to see.
Windows - free

Windows for me too for years, all smooth - knock on the wood

But I also use Ghost Spectre version,.... check it out

+1

some rigs running for 5 years now on windows - without any updates

Well get busy writing it and supporting it for everyone to use for free.
Yes sure, but why no community project, or paying one time to get a lifetime license like Awesomeminer in the past

The next problem with HiveOS is - if the HiveOS Server gets problems, than you have a problem.
Client Server based application is better in my opinion, i will have my software on my PC´s
