Hello, I am looking to join the ALT coin mining community! Need help

[Sugetsu]

Hello, I am not completely inexperienced at mining. I did mine BTC back in 2013 right before the difficulty went up too high. I would like to start mining ALT coins and so I have 3 important questions for you guys:

1: Which Alt coin do you recommend to mine with GPUs at the moment?
2: Depending on the first answer, which mining pool should I join?
3: Should I go with linux as my default mining OS?

Thank you in advance!
=)

I am planning to built a pc just for mining. I could go up to $ 2k as long as i am able to mine at least a coin per month. I as m not planning on selling them.
 My most pressing matter is to decide on the gpu and the crypto i want to mine though.
Would eth be the safest bet? As far as i know Dash is only for dedicated hardware and there are some currency which favor amd or nvidia.
