    That's strange. For me it was great experience, the installation and
    usage of latest version of BOINC Manager.
    I keep it on Full Power setting and it will suspend itself
    automatically if more than 80% of CPU will be requested by OS.
    I can write, listen to music, watch YT videos in HD, without
    problems.
    YMMV, I guess. It could be problem of overheating or some kind of
    hardware problem, but definitely not a software problem of BOINC
    Manager.
    
    On the other hand, Folding@Home project was giving me headaches,
    because it is not yet supported on Buster and is going through
    painful process of migration to python3.
    In the end I've decided to remove it from my system and stick with
    BOINC.
    From what I know, BOINC is an open project for distribute computing,
    and it is open source, so anybody could benefit from it.
    I donate my cycles only to registered and long known projects, like
    Rosetta@Home.
