This has not been forgotten. I'm back on it and working hard to get it done. Stop by the PiMP Discord and I'll "leak" a few screenshots for ya.

PIMP OS news:

PiMP OS v2.9.7 is unofficially released. It has been tested and good to go. It includes fixes and updates to PiMP OS and comes with the newest AMD and nVidia Drivers (including CUDA 10). The reason this is an unofficial release, is due to not having the backend ready to serve CUDA 10 built miners. They can be manually installed, though. We'll get some updates out to support the new cuda10 miners for the GTX 20x0 cards as soon as we can.

Major improvement to validation will prevent many new users from having to reimage to validate.
