When you preload tasks increase the setting of 0.1 day, and 0.1 additional day in boinc mgr to 3 or 4.
you'll get Wu's with longer deadline, which also means a higher chance of getting Wu's that run longer.
Rosetta has mixed WUs, some of which run close to 10 hours.

The deadlines assigned have nothing to do with how much work your machine requests. And runtimes are based on the runtime preference, not some fixed WU size.

I know, but if I set 10 day + 10 day of additional work, I usually get projects with long deadlines, which many of them happen to be long units.

We used to have tasks with 8-day deadlines quite frequently, but since the recent changes I haven't see a single 8-day task. And certainly none longer for about 5 years.
It looks like we're now an exclusively 3-day-deadline project

All of my Ubuntu machines are running 18.04.4, and I installed boinc directly from the built-in repos -- no PPAs needed.

Granted, most of them are headless machines that aren't running boinc-manager (if I need to see status locally, I SSH in and run boinctui), but I do have a laptop with a full GUI install that is running boinc-manager, and I don't recall having to do anything special to get it working.

sudo apt install boinc

^ That didn't get you up and running?

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:costamagnagianfranco/boinc
sudo apt-get update

No, different. Both are important. I guess journal entries are a good way to compare the two.

FaH is concerned with the process of how proteins fold. R@h is concerned with where they end up once they have folded.

The folded state is important because that shape determines the proteins function and what it will bind with.

R@H also works on designing new proteins that don't exist in nature, which may well lead to one of the big technological revolutions, like the transistor did.
