I really think we could grow this project by focusing on efficiency. Right now it feels very Linux-heavy, which limits who can help.

If we add support for NPUs and Apple Silicon, we could get a lot more work done with much less power.

Getting stable Windows and Mac binaries would also help move us out of the unlisted category.

NPU's aren't supported by BOINC. As for being Linux heavy as according to the stats page Windows systems dominate at 72%
