It doesn't appeal specifically to me. But it is offering a GUI first approach to Linux. That could appeal to Windows and Mac users.

That may be well and good, but if they are on here then they are likely crunching, whether it be in Linux, Windows or MAC.
As Keith said: It isn't likely modeled after any other Linux distro (I read it too and I think that is a fact), and Einstein was modeled after Debian. So it likely won't work for Einstein. I don't know what the other projects are modeled after, but also likely Debian, too.
Maybe it is not obvious, but Open-Mandriva comes from Mandriva Linux, which comes from another distro called Mandrake, and that came as is in 1998. This last one was based in Red Hat Linux 5. I toyed with it as a live-cd when it was a thing back then.
The linked article is not accurate in saying "it is not based in any other distro".
If BOINC is currently available as an RPM package for Red Hat Enterprise Linux and the derivatives from this (Fedora, et al.), Einstein will most probably work.
Just means you applied your app_info configuration. You will show local when you use local apps, IOW your own defined apps via a app_info configuration.
Can anyone kick me down the road to figure out why this ONE computer reports OS as "ubuntu" when all my boxes are "mint"? Sysinfo on gui shows "mint 22". Is it a grub issue?
I can't be helpful on the original presenting question. But if everything is running "OK" except for that, then your production and reliability are not being screwed up?
If nothing else is screwed up, I would take that for a Win!

Here is an interesting take on the "best" Linux.
So my question is will it run other Linux version executables like our BOINC software?

Depends on whether is has Boinc in its distro or whether it can be compiled for the standard Boinc codebase.
Boinc mostly is for Debian based distros which this one appears not.
Don't see the appeal when Ubuntu works and runs just fine.

Went to Christmas dinner with friends. Came home to a frozen computer and all the app names had "local:" appended to the front of the name.
Was able to reboot and it's crunching again, but the app name change persists.
