The Folding@Home GPU client works way better on Linux with NVIDIA/CUDA than it does with AMD. I could not get a 4x Radeon VII rig with ROCm to utilise more than a single GPU at any time due to OpenCL errors. Also, the folding@home Ubuntu client has three-year-old issues with not installing properly [1] so you have to workaround that, too.

If you have the time to contribute reliability patches to the Linux clients, I'm sure it would be appreciated as well.

Update: Installed Windows 10 Pro on a separate SSD, and I appear to have GPU slots for all GPUs under Windows.
