How do I start mining monero? (beehaw.org)

I am looking to mine on my laptop at night to try get enough to fund at least part of a mullvad VPN account. I need a miner and wallet that doesn't care about age and will let me turn mining off when I'm using my laptop.

What would you recommend?

Welcome back :) Many tools (incl. p2pool & xmrig) are both cross platform. The same command line works for both.

While windows version is free (open-source) too, it’s obvious better to do that on GNU/Linux. What matters most is CPU speed.
