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.

IBM Z/OS v2.5, Next-Gen Operating System Designed for Hybrid Cloud and AI
Here is a good high level slide deck on z/OS 2.5 new features: https://github.com/IBM/IBM-Z-zOS/blob/main/zOS-Education/zOS...
It starts out with the marketing buzzwords but then drills down into the technical nitty-gritty. In terms of what the "AI" stuff actually means, one answer is contained on slide 121 – support for running Tensorflow and ONNX inside a Linux Docker container using zCX (which lets you run z/Linux Docker containers under z/OS). The zCX SIMD support referenced on slide 102 is probably highly relevant to this.

If you have a C compiler then this is a sample C code that invokes the real time APIs: https://github.com/IBM/IBM-Z-zOS/blob/main/SMF-Tools/SMFReal/smfreal.c

Oldest software system in continuous use
There are two real emulators: Hercules (https://github.com/SDL-Hercules-390/hyperion) and IBM's ZD&T (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zdt/12.0.0?topic=personal-edition). Unfortunately Hercules can not be generally used to run commercial OS and software, and ZD&T is not licensed to run production workloads.

Preview: IBM z/OS v2.5 [pdf]
>Is it technically possible to run z/OS
Yes but not legal checkout MVS Tur(n)key:
http://wotho.ethz.ch/tk4-/
And run it with the Hercules emulator:
https://github.com/SDL-Hercules-390/hyperion
MVS is near identical to z/OS and the Turnkey Distro has much more compilers and tools..and games already installed.
What are some alternatives?
