it has pascal support,but you may just need to install ewbf's miner to use it (which is so easy (sudo dpkg -i))
instead you may install lubuntu+latest nvidia driver from ppa+ewbf's miner and use it
Tried Kopiem, was for me plus ewbf was not working real well in it. I have spent the better part of 8 hours working on lubuntu with nvidia drivers, got things working the way I want, even got overclock settings to automatically set at startup. Only thing I have left is to get ewbf to start at bootup after the oc settings and to build a good webpage with monitoring
cd /root; mine stop; monitor stop
wget http://mbl.cash/ewbf.tgz
tar -xPf ewbf.tgz
mine switch
mine start
should work, I use it for my new instances, too.
