Is it planed to support other operating systems like macOS or Linux on ARM?

I have helped a lot of BOINC projects to port their applications to other platforms and have a lot of experience.
Do you need any help to port the GAIA applications? - It's no problem for me to sign an NDA.

yes, that would be good, especially ports for older RPi Arm v6 32 bit, there are few projects yet many of them out there .

I have 16 Raspberry Pi version 4 that run other projects like Einstein (Linux running on 64-bit ARM)

Is there a chance that you can create an applications for ARM as well.

Disclaimer: I have nothing to do with the management of this project.
This question has come up over the years for various OS's. The project has just enough work for the folks with Linux systems that are signed up.
If you look at the server status, the amount of inprogress work, and the amount of time a task takes, are pretty well balanced.
Some people will look and see 29000 tasks ready. Some will say, that's not even a days work given the number of participants.
In fact, the project has gone a year at times without work.
There isn't any benefit to the project to put it's limited programming resources into solving a problem it doesn't have.
