I was using maybe 5 year's ago windows and mining with it. It was pain in the a$$. You get it to mine easily but to keep it 24/7 is never happening with windows.
HiveOS is thousand times easier to handle with multiple rigs or even 1 rig with multiple card. It's pretty much automatic once you plug it in and get it to mine.
I have zero experience working with Linux, I tried to but no success to get mining.
Maybe someone can write me step by step instuctions how to do it.
