Choosing the best OS – Radeon Rx 580
The correct choice of operating system can significantly simplify work with the farm and even reduce costs. In the confrontation of Windows and Linux for farms on the RX 580 usually choose the latest OS. Hive OS has several important advantages over Windows, the most significant of which are:
- There is no limit on 8 video cards.
- No need to face the difficult process of choosing the right drivers.
- The OS was originally developed and adapted for mining.
- Ability to work without monitors (using emulators).
- No need to have an SSD or HDD, a regular 8-16 GB flash drive is sufficient.
- WatchDog is built into the system, you do not need to pay extra for it (as is the case with Windows).
- Easy setup and functional remote monitoring.
- No need to buy an expensive license.
- Telegram notifications in real time.
You also need to consider that in case of installation of pirated copies of Windows, the farm can be confiscated, as it is stipulated by law. With Linux, there will be no such problems, which is another important advantage. One of the few advantages of Windows, namely the ability to use a video card for tasks other than mining, is irrelevant, because 99% of the farms are originally created specifically for mining cryptocurrency. This is the main task.
