Re: New project is coming!

@alanb1951

However, Windows is [as far as I know] still their largest user base so I'd be very surprised if they let the Linux version go live first unless they have severe problems getting a Windows version ready for and/or through Beta testing.
According to BoinStats (This page, (scroll down) https://www.boincstats.com/stats/15/project/detail/host
Windows still has the by far largest user base on WCG
Windows: 74,43%
Linux: 14,53%
Other: 11,04%

Thanks for the numbers, Grumpy Swede!

A further 100% increase in active Linux users wouldn't make much of a dent in the [understandable] Windows dominance -- ah, well, "Other" users are possibly even further down the pecking order... :-)

Cheers - Al.

Re: New project is coming!

I have received some Windows Beta WUs this afternoon.

And, deltavee, the important question now is:
if you go to your Results page and select the Beta Testing project, do your BETA-tasks appear or doesn't it show anything do you get an empty list (like the BETA-tasks currently still do on Linux devices)?

Empty list. They only show when "All projects" is selected.

Same here. I show 6 Betas for MAM all still in pending validation. They are fast, all finishing in under 1/2 hour on a machine which normally finishes MCM units in about 3.5 hours. They were all on Linux.

Re: New project is coming!

I also show 6 Betas for MAM when ALL projects are selected. came in about 20:11 UTC on the 17th and still pending validation.

ETA: these were all for Windows 11 Professional x64 Edition. Nothing more since then.

looking forward to more work as it becomes available.

Re: New project is coming!

No Beta MAM for my Windows computer yet- However with so small batches released, I'm not surprised..
