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.

MSYS2 Installation
Google says (1, 2, 3) that this issue is caused by Avast/AVG antivirus moving some executable files (bash.exe in your case, seemingly) into its quarantine folder.

Colorscheme problems when using MinTTY as the terminal for nvim.
It's a known issue: https://github.com/msys2/MSYS2-packages/issues/3150

Erdtree v1.4.1 - the love child of `tree` and `du`, now with support for a configuration file to override defaults and more
Could you let me know of this is perhaps relevant to you? I will investigate sometime this week! Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Windows Subsystem For Linux a.k.a. WSL 1.0.0 released
I am still on WSL1 due to the filesystem performance with WSL2. I recently tried to move more of my workflow towards MSYS2 but various things keep breaking for me without obvious reasons.
Latest issue I encountered was that GNU parallel simple does not work. [1]

Getting GTK3 in WINE?
I've already tested the rest of the tools needed for the build process (just Python 3.10 and PyInstaller) and they seem to work fine. My issue is that both MSYS2 and Cygwin do not work in WINE (this is pretty well documented: MSYS2, Cygwin), so I don't know of any other means of getting the Windows versions of GTK3 libraries in my WINE prefix so that PyInstaller can pack it all up for me.

copy_file with overwirte_existing throws exception when the file exists
It's old bug with gcc standard library implementation which has not been fixed, I guess most likely nobody made a bug report. I tested it myself and indeed it doesn't work properly and we are not alone: https://github.com/msys2/MSYS2-packages/issues/1937.

The Atrocities of COM win32 headers
My last experience with MinGW-w64 was when I was trying to compile my C++ simulation code in Windows and finding out that AVX instructions were not working because the compiler had misalignment-related bugs. (The issue is still open in https://github.com/msys2/MSYS2-packages/issues/1209)
MinGW/MSYS certainly had appeal to former Linux devs who didn't want to touch the horrors of MSVC, but Zig (with its included Clang compiler/runtime) might end up being a better solution for people trying to compile C/C++ code on Windows in a stable manner.

How I ended up using Colima for Docker on Apple Silicon
While looking into the issue with Podman, I came across colima. Apart from being able to run AMD64 images out of the box, there were additional benefits to it, one of which was, unlike podman, colima could use Rosetta 2 for x64 emulation (which is significantly more performant).

Damn Small Linux 2024
You might look into CoLima as a way to get started.
https://github.com/abiosoft/colima?tab=readme-ov-file
Its user interface is Docker-like, using containers.
For full desktop, I've only used the commercial app "Parallels", which can set up an Ubuntu desktop for you. Also Fedora and Alpine and Debian I believe.
But
> I don't really have any resources to share. I just know how to boot a vmlinuz with an initramfs using QEMU, and decided to download the Linux kernel source code and try compiling it.
I highly recommend working through Linux from Scratch and possibly the Gentoo Handbook. It's a journey.

Howto: WASM runtimes in Docker / Colima
I could not find any guide how to add WASM container capability to Docker running on Colima. This guide provides a few Colima templates for exactly this, which adds WasmEdge, Wasmtime and Wasmer runtime types.

Podman Desktop v1.5 with Compose onboarding and enhanced Kubernetes pod data
After docker desktop became unusable, I jumped to colima and never looked back. I still use the docker runtime in it (the non-proprietary part) but it also supports containerd. On Mac it's just a "brew install colima" and then "colima start"
I also install the compose and ecr credentials plug-ins (since I use ecr for my container registry.) It has the full functionality of docker desktop minus the UI, which I never used anyways.

K3s – Lightweight Kubernetes
On my M1 Pro system, I have nothing but positive things to say about the experience of using Colima (https://github.com/abiosoft/colima). Quick to set up and fast to use.

[3] I’m on OrbStack now, but it isn’t so much better at how I use Docker than Colima is that I think that it’s an instant buy, especially with the planned subscription model. If I used anything other than the Docker integration, I might think it's better, but as of right now, no.
I also have some issues with its insistence on asking for elevated permissions. I will never grant permission[4] to make a symlink to the "standard" Docker socket; context and `$DOCKER_HOST` work well enough. It should not ask if the permission hasn't been given once. I also worry about other "advanced" features that may need an elevated permissions helper[5].
