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.

Mark Russinovich: “Working towards enabling Windows driver development in Rust”
Here's an example [1] of a device driver in C#. It is possible. It is also not recommended.

Can anyone tell me what c# can do that other languages can't, or what c# does better than other languages?
You can create device drivers in C#, here's an example. Not familiar with creating COFF dll-s myself but I imagine that'd also be possible with some tweaking. It might not be supported right out of the box, sure.

Writing a kernel in C# on Linux
https://github.com/VollRagm/KernelSharp Based on ZeroKernel, so again driver only.

Mark Russinovich: “Working towards enabling Windows driver development in Rust”
I didn't realise that. Then again, I only experimented with AOT executables quite briefly. Perhaps Cosmos[1] stuck in my head more than what I read about AOT dotnet applications.

Sweet C#
there are entire toolkits for that! https://github.com/cosmosos/cosmos
- Making an OS with C#?
- XenOS, an OS made in C#!
-
Does Microsoft ever try to written the whole windows OS codebase in entirely in C# in future?
This is about the same time that Cosmos came about - they’ve got they own ASM-like flavour of C# called X# and IL2CPU
- Slow Frame Rate under Cosmos
- Writing a kernel in C# on Linux
- Alternatives to COSMOS?
-
Is C# a good programming language for kernel development?
I recommend you to take a look at the Cosmos project. It's an operating system construction kit integrated to Visual Studio using it's own compiler translating IL code (C#, VB.NET, F#...) to x86 assembly.

Found this on a command-line only OS.
From these lines of code one would assume so, but apparently Cosmos seems to be quiet more serious than just a simple shell.
What are some alternatives?
windows-drivers-rs - Platform that enables Windows driver development in Rust. Developed by Surface.
Aura-Operating-System - AuraOS, the Franco-English Operating System developed in C# using Cosmos!
UIforETW - User interface for recording and managing ETW traces
biscuit - Biscuit research OS
EfiSharp - An Attempt at building at least some of C# corelib for EFI applications. Inspired by https://github.com/MichalStrehovsky/zerosharp to see if this possible.
Singularity-OS - Microsoft Research Singularity RDK 2.0 Source
shared_memory - A Rust wrapper around native shared memory for Linux and Windows
gopher-os - A proof of concept OS kernel written in Go
Meadow.Foundation - Unified driver and library framework for Meadow applications.
zerosharp - Demo of the potential of C# for systems programming with the .NET native ahead-of-time compilation technology.
