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.

A journey from beginning to end
For what it's worth, it is possible to desolder the old connector and solder on a new one. Per Framework's documentation, the connector is a AUSB0534-P203A61. While I was able to find the part on the manufacturer's website, I'm not sure of a way to order it as an individual (I couldn't find it on Digi-Key or Mouser for example).

Building a Cyber Deck for emulation
Might be on the pricier side, but the Framework laptop mainboard is available separately starting at $350 https://frame.work/products/mainboard as well as the battery https://frame.work/products/battery, and there's documentation with suggestions/designs on how to built around it for projects like this https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/Mainboard. Should have plenty of power for emulation and light pc gaming, as well as thunderbolt support for an egpu.

could I build a stand alone touchpad using the framework touchpad part?
Look like trackpad (TP?) is just IIC. https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/Mainboard/blob/main/Electrical/Mainboard_Interfaces_Schematic_11th_Gen.pdf

Framework in 2022: Year-in-review
We released a 3D printable Mainboard Case, and open sourced our Mainboard drawings and electrical documentation in a Github repository.

Hooking up a 17.3" screen to a framework?
The block diagram for the Tiger Lake mainboards says that the current displays and motherboards communicate over eDP 1.2 (is Alder Lake-P the same?), so I started by looking for 17.3" screens that communicate with eDP 1.2.

The Framework Laptop Chromebook Edition
One thing worth noting is that basically, even now (almost 10 months post announcement), almost no one has a 6000U laptop outs (a search on Amazon and Best Buy shows two 6800U laptop models total, one Asus and one Lenovo). Two niche vendors, XMG and Star Labs, have both publicly stated that they would have loved to have offered Ryzen 6000 laptops, but couldn't get any allotments. There are were also well documented chipset issues - even into the summer Lenovo and Asus talked about requiring firmware updates to enable their USB4 ports.
That being said, starting w/ Rembrandt, AMD now has full 40Gbps USB4 controllers built on-chip. I'm really looking forward to Ryzen 7040 because Phoenix looks great (Zen4 + RDNA3 on TSMC N4 - yes please) and hopefully USB4 support has matured enough on the AMD side that Framework is able to release something.
My understanding is that the I/O limitation is in the re-timers - currently the Framework uses 4X JHL8040R's (labeled as Burnside Bridge) directly connected to the iTBT: https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/Mainboard/blob/main/Ele... Apple used these for their first M1 MBAs as well: https://github.com/ThomasKaiser/Knowledge/blob/master/articl...
But both Apple and AMD are now using Kandou retimers:

Microsoft Is Driving Users Away
Always useful to look at the seemingly endless stream of Linux information, the Arch wiki:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ASUS_ROG_Zephyrus_G14_(2022...
Also NixOS has a nixos-hardware repository with configurations for some laptops:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware/tree/master/asus/zep...
Reasonably legible if you ever programmed anything

A couple nooby questions
Btw, for starters, I think you can learn a lot by checking other's configurations and from things like https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware. There are a lot of useful/essential configurations that are not enabled by default.

Setup -Advice or another attempt to dive deep
in that case do note that this module assumes you use nixos-hardware, otherwise you can remove lines 161-165. I can also send you my VM's libvirtd .xml file when you get around to creating it.

Xorg fails to start with the modesetting driver
My computer is a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro with a dual GPU setup (AMD iGPU + Nvidia DGPU) where I'm using a "hybrid mode" configuration provided by nixos-hardware, using PRIME offload.
Not too long ago nixos-hardware changed the default Xorg driver for AMD to modesetting from amdgpu.
