No I cannot guarantee it but it has worked for others. I have an external GPU and when I had an nVidia attached it worked without issues as cuda is supported.

When I swapped ot over for my you bute AMD I jumped through these hoops to get it working as OpenCL is developed differently

Does anyone know how I might get einstein to send tasks .

This thread should help you, it's not simple unless you know what you are doing but it's a pain

https://einsteinathome.org/fr/content/cant-get-amd-radeon-rx-7900-xtx-crunch-einsteinhome-ubuntu-2204-lts

The main thing to do is download and install the ROCm drivers (basically professional drivers) and then change the following system config

(Find boinc-client.service file (in /usr/lib/systemd/system/ for Ubuntu) and change ProtectSystem=strict to ProtectSystem=off)

I do not have any AMD video cards and no video cards on Linux so I am out of this one.

Thanks for the info guys
I installed a Linux OS called Pop OS.everything seems to work .boinc manager works and I have
the drivers for the GPU installed. but Moo and Einstein wont send any GPU tasks. Mikyway runs Ok.

oooh I haven't used PopOS yet, I do hear some decent things about it.

I found that Einstein can be a bit finnicky to get working on AMD GPU for Linux. Try testing your GPU with Numberfields, you shouldn't have to make any changes and should work straight away
