I'm a little confused, is btc mining for asci miners and lite coin for CPU/gpu mining? I am having issues trying to mine btc and support is only for asci miners.
Can I still mine btc with gpus? If so which miner is recommended for Linux?

You are better to mine the altcoins then convert to bitcoins. Mining bitcoins directly has little to no point now days.

Thank you for the response, can you explain why, I typed some things in google looking for an answer but I can't find any.
On reddit I red a post mentioning the same thing, that gpu miners should try mining lite coin, but they did not explain why

So I kept looking and I think I found a calculator that estimated I would only get $26/month with my cards :-(
So I guess that's why I should mine lite coins, the difficulty is less
Thanks for the help
