New Raspberry Pi3->Installed BOINC Mgr->I pick World Community Grid but then when trying to get tasks I get this error:
This project doesn't support computers of type arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf

Does Raspberry Pi3 not run BOINC Manager?

BOINC doesn't do any science.
(And the Manager is just a display for the BOINC-client.
The whole is just called BOINC.)

The science is done by programs on each project, and only for the OS that they support.
So you need to find a project that has work for the Pi.

I believe the manager is ported from other systems.
That's why sometimes you'll get suggestions from projects that aren't supported.
For projects that are supported by the pi, visit: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/projects.php
And look for projects with the Arm symbol:


You can remove projects that your hardware doesn't support.
