No, I'm not leaving, but there are these distributed @home projects where you donate computer power to some purpose. Among the most well known of these are SETI@home looking for extra-terrestials, Rosetta@home and Folding@home which work on 3d folding of proteins. And there's LHC@home which among others tasks simulate proton collisions at the LHC. And many, many others.
Thousands of people take part in these projects, resulting in impressing processing capacity. Folding@home, for instance, is one of the fastest computer systems in the world with speeds approaching 100 petaFlops (june 2019).
I consider joining one or two of them, using my Linux computer. Does any of you have experience with any of them? Most projects run on the BOINC platform, but Folding@home does not. Does that matter?
