Etheraio 2.0.0 — Linux x64 preview

Extract the complete archive to a folder you own, then run ./Start\ Etheraio.sh
from your ordinary Linux desktop account. Keep every bundled file together.
Requires a Linux x64 desktop with compatible GTK, NSS, audio and .NET native
system libraries. This includes its .NET runtime; no separate SDK is needed.
Do not run as root or disable the browser sandbox to bypass a launch failure.

The contribution worker contains the current fixed CPU algorithms and Linux
CPU/RAM/battery reporting. Sign in using your browser. Farming starts stopped.
Keep your existing profile and models when upgrading; never delete them to update.
Resource targets pace owned work; instantaneous utilisation is not a hard cap.

Linux GPU kernels, model training, full media and crypto mining have NOT been
validated in this release. No crypto worker or node is included. The optional
AI specialists need a compatible Linux runtime, model, memory and their own
checks. Windows-only installation and automatic update tools are excluded.
The included interface shares desktop features; unavailable actions stay gated.
This preview has package/static checks, but no Linux desktop execution test.
No rewards, training success, cash payout or GPU throughput are inferred.

Source notices and upstream licences are retained in the package.

This update retains the existing Linux native helper and adds the reviewed Etheraio workspace and optional specialist coordinator. New catalogue entries are metadata only. No new model weights are bundled. Linux desktop, GPU, training and crypto execution remain unverified.

Persistent AI scheduling keeps admitted models warm between useful jobs and lets queued foreground chat run between saved research segments. Quality settings and resource targets are preserved. No filler jobs or new trained weights are added. Linux GUI, GPU, training and crypto execution remain unverified.
