I've ported the native Windows version of BoincTasks to Linux. This is NOT the Javascript version which already works on Linux and imho, sucks.
Its still in early development, but it's working for the most part now. I don't run Linux as my main OS so I always use the Windows version of BOINC Tasks, but I got it running on a linux host so I can test it and try to use it to catch any bugs.
Feel free to install this yourself.
Okay, here is a pre-release of BoincTasks for Linux. Two files, pick which one you want to test with. The appimage which is self contained, just make the file executable and run it. The .deb file which you use the package manager to install it as a package.
wget https://free-dc.org/downloads/BoincTasks-0.9.0-x86_64.AppImage
RUN IT (no install)
chmod +x BoincTasks-0.9.0-x86_64.AppImage
./BoincTasks-0.9.0-x86_64.AppImage
wget https://free-dc.org/downloads/boinctasks-linux_0.9.0_amd64.deb
OR INSTALL (Debian/Ubuntu)
sudo apt install ./boinctasks-linux_0.9.0_amd64.deb
