Windows vs Linux

Post by svalvasori »

I have two F@H computers running, one WIndows (CPU:5, 1070Ti) and one Linux (CPU:11, P2000). The Linux F@H almost always has at least one WU running if not two, when one ends, it gets another quickly. The Windows client sometimes get WU's, but can also go 17-20 attempts and still no WU. Sometimes if I reboot the Windows client, it will immediately get two WU's (not always).

I'm wondering if this is common, or if I could have some configuration issue?

Thanks!

It's just a matter of luck. See : Server outages and limitations.

Thanks, I wondered. My Linux box is so much luckier than the Windows one...

Linux boxes also tend to run core21 projects with higher performance when compared to the same projects in Windows.
