Title: PRE LOADED OS's (Windows/Linus)
Post by: forato on January 19, 2017, 06:50:42 PM
i like to try all OS's to mine

For linux i already use:

PIMP
SimpleMining OS --> Free and the best one! (but uses old linux version)
ETHOS --> Very good now that we can use CM minier's


Any other good linux OS pre loaded to mine?

For Windows:

I did not get any preloaded Windows OS, does anyone know how to make a pendrive windows 10 to boot?

I found one to sell here:

https://mineshop.eu/software/60-gb-ssd-ultimate-mining-software-with-windows-10-detail

but i dont think we need to buy...


Tks  ???

If you already tested all these OS's, you could make some comparison, pros/cons and so on.

so far iv tested

Windows XP
Windows 7
Windows 10

Ubuntu 12.04 (LTS which ever version that is XD)
Debian 7,8

Raspbian
Miner O.S
Debian 8 for orangepi

for windows i go with cgminer, linux i go with BFGminer simnply because it play more native with the com ports

dont see much diffrence between O.S's but the little device ones Raspbian, Miner O.S, Debian 8 for orangepi do have alot more isuse with the amount of devices you can connect and none have full power USB ports so its alot less stable

that said 9/10 i still fall back to windows 7 (xp is nice and light but kinda outdated) windows 7 is a nice balance and windows 10 is just fat (its designed to take advantage of newer PC's)

that said if i wanted to do a USB pendrive id go with Debian all the way and BFGminer, Windows does alot of read write to disks so kill a pendrive alot quicker than debian would (debian and linux in general tend to use ram disks as much as possible)
