The whole "PC is in use" stuff just does not work.

Doesn't work for me on 8.3.0 on XUbuntu 25.04 either. (neither mouse nor keyboard use in last x minutes result in computation being suspended. Can you let us know what OS and which BOINC version you are using. I only tried it for the first time just now in response to your post so don't know if it worked on some earlier versions.

We have a solution for this that hopefully will be available in the next release of BOINC client.
Stay tuned
