For me it was great experience, the installation and usage of latest version of BOINC Manager. I keep it on Full Power setting and it will suspend itself automatically if more than 80% of CPU will be requested by OS. I can write, listen to music, watch YT videos in HD, without problems. YMMV, I guess. It could be problem of overheating or some kind of hardware problem, but definitely not a software problem of BOINC Manager.
On the other hand, Folding@Home project was giving me headaches, because it is not yet supported on Buster and is going through painful process of migration to python3. In the end I've decided to remove it from my system and stick with BOINC. >From what I know, BOINC is an open project for distribute computing, and it is open source, so anybody could benefit from it. I donate my cycles only to registered and long known projects, like Rosetta@Home. -- With kindest regards, Alexander. ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Debian - The universal operating system ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://www.debian.org ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀
