Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Even the simplest possible assembly program will/can have a console window. How exactly?
You might find the source code for FreeDOS of interest for learning more about how the low-level access to the interrupt services worked. Specifically, console.asm installs a character write routine (which calls BIOS INT 10h under the hood).

Trying to run FreeDOS off CF Card on 286 homebrew system --- Question about bootloader and drive geometry information
Looking at https://github.com/FDOS/kernel/blob/master/boot/boot.asm, I see %define statements for this type of information, but I'm not sure how these memory locations are normally populated with proper values. Is this something that Sys does when preparing the CF card? Or should the BIOS populate this information when loading the boot loader?

"My Reaction to Dr. Stroustrup’s Recent Memory Safety Comments"
That's where I'm coming from. FreeDOS still gets occasional commits once per few months but is not really developed anymore. Watcom C still seems like it's actively developed, but it's not clear what they are trying to achieve if they are not even interested in what's happening in C/C++ world!

How to Port to ARM (Just Curious, not ready to do it yet)
Here's the code for the kernel https://github.com/FDOS/kernel/ You will have to entirely rewrite the Assembly code since it is x86 assembly (Netwide Assembler is great, but not for ARM). Namely boot code is assembly. The kernel does compile under multiple compilers. I'm not too sure if ARM platforms handle this, but I would look at the Linux kernel for boot code on ARM.

Are DOS utilities open source.
"DOS" is a little bit of a general term. Microsoft's product, MS-DOS, is not Free Software. But there are other implementations, including FreeDOS, which is compatible with MS-DOS.

Trying to run FreeDOS off CF Card on 286 homebrew system --- Question about bootloader and drive geometry information
YouTube user '@pvc' mentioned that this information is populated as part of the format utility. I am currently reviewing the source code for FreeDOS format. I am also reading through the Microsoft Extensible Firmware Initiative File System Specification (fatgen103).
What are some alternatives?
fdpp - FreeDOS plus-plus, 64bit DOS
kernel - A Rust-based, lightweight unikernel.
surface-aggregator-module - Linux ACPI and Platform Drivers for Surface Devices using the Surface Aggregator Module over Surface Serial Hub (Surface Book 2, Surface Pro 2017, Surface Laptop, and Newer)
cacule-cpu-scheduler - The CacULE CPU scheduler is based on interactivity score mechanism. The interactivity score is inspired by the ULE scheduler (FreeBSD scheduler).
