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.

Could try this https://github.com/FEX-Emu/FEX + wine/proton. But as always keep in mind that playing on non-supported platforms can lead to bans in future (never happened but who knows).

Asahi Linux M1 GPU drivers can now run Windows games via Steam Proton
It's explained in the video, it uses https://github.com/FEX-Emu/FEX
- Asahi Linux got 24 games from steam running on M1 Mac mini.

Apple holds press event showing off its ‘latest advances in gaming’
Steam is also funding an x86 tn ARM game emulator, which opens up the potential for it working on Android.

Android tablets and Chromebooks are on another crash course – will it be different this time?
Valve is funding developers working on an x86-to-ARM layer, FEX. I'm assuming that the eventual end goal would be to run Steam on Android, one of the FEX developers was commenting on trying to get FEX to work on an S8 Tab Ultra.

How the f*** does Proton works so amazingly well?
Valve is also funding another translation layer, from x86 to ARM (see FEX).

Apple GPU drivers now in Asahi Linux
Additionally, game emulation won't be optimal until someone fixes this issue from FEX-Emu, which will allow that emulator to run on Apple Silicon. QEMU-user is currently your best option though it is dead slow. Box64 is currently pretty capable, however, it will not be able to run any 32-bit libraries (which even modern games ship a few of).

The File Filesystem
FFS predates FreeBSD and is in some capacity supported by all 3 major BSDs. I'm fairly confident that Linux actually supports it through the ufs driver ( https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/fs/ufs ); whether the use of different names in different places makes it better or worse is an exercise for the reader.

Linus Torvalds adds arbitrary tabs to kernel code
These are a bit easier to see what's going on:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/d5cf50dafc9dd5faa1e...
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/d5cf50dafc9dd5faa1e61...
Unfortunately Github doesn't have a way to render symbols for whitespace, but you can tell by selecting the spaces that the previous version had leading tabs. Linus changed it so that the tokens `default` and the number e.g. `12` are also separated by a tab. This is tricky, because the token "default" is seven characters, it will always give this added tab a width of 1 char which makes it always layout the same as if it were a space no matter if you use tab widths of 1, 2, 4, or 8.

PfSense Software Embraces Change: A Strategic Migration to the Linux Kernel
There was also a Gentoo effort to run atop FreeBSD[0]. The challenge of course is that afaik none of the BSD kernel ABIs are considered stable. The stable interface is the BSD libc. That said, with binfmt_misc, I don't see a reason you couldn't just run (at least some) FreeBSD binaries on Linux with a thin syscall translation layer (rather something like qemu-system) and then your layer hooked via binfmt_misc. I'm not aware of anyone who has done this for FreeBSD, but prior efforts existed as alternate binfmts for SysVr4/5 ELF binaries[2]. Either way would take some elbow grease, but you *might* even be able just reuse binfmt_elf and just have a new interpreter for FreeBSD elf.

Improvements to static analysis in GCC 14
> The original less-than check was deemed incorrect
It was only deemed incorrect because of an information leak. Not because it's a valid use-case for user space to copy smaller portions of *hwrpb into user space. https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/21c5977a836e399fc71...

TinyMCE (also) moving from MIT to GPL
Correct. And the combined work needs to carry the MIT license text and copyright attributions for the MIT software authors. With binary distribution it must also be overt, not hidden in some source code drop, but directly accompanying the binary.
Many people who talk about relicensing never credit the MIT developers or distribute the MIT license text. "Because it's GPL now."
I don't think that you believe that, but many developers do.
Some don't see the need for source code scans for Open Source compliance, because the license.txt says GPL, so it's GPL. Prime example is the Linux kernel. There is code under different licenses in there, but people don't even read https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/COPYING till the end ("In addition, other licenses may also apply.") and conclude it's simply GPL 2 and nothing else.
Also be aware that sublicensing is not the same as relicensing.

He notoriously hates GNU Emacs, yes.
