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.

Anon is worried about Linux
Projects like Tow-Boot, a distribution of U-Boot, provide a nice boot menu and allow you to boot the "generic ARM" ISOs that are usually just UEFI. On the Raspberry Pi 3 and 4, you can put Tianocore EDK2 onto the SD card and boot any UEFI image, including Windows 10 or 11 for ARM.

Raspberry Pi 4 running Gentoo?
The approach I used is very different from the conventional setup. Most setups will rely on the default boot loader stack that the Raspberry Pi uses, but this project instead relies on the UEFI images provided by https://github.com/pftf/RPi3/ and https://github.com/pftf/RPi4 instead. There are two reasons for this.

Raspberry Pi 3 Fastboot – Less Than 2 Seconds
> Isn't a faster boot what everybody wants?
I’ll rather have slow boot and proper UEFI support so I can boot any vanilla ARM64 Linux distro (Debian proper), instead of images/distros which have been crafted to be device-specific (Raspbian).
I boot this thing once every second month at most. I honestly couldn’t care less about boot-times.
Luckily for me, there are solutions to my problem too ;)

Google will soon block YouTube and Maps apps for Android 2.3 users
It's been manually implemented for many devices - the Renegade Project and Raspberry Pi 3 implementation do exactly this.

State of netbooting Raspberry Pi in 2021
Odd to see using UEFI to NetBoot not considered an option at all.
It should eliminate the timing-bug and leave you in a more reliable (and scriptable!) pre-boot environment. What more do you need?!?
Both the RPi3 and 4 can be UEFI booted, so this is definitely a real-world option.

- Considering giving OpenBSD another try
- I've recently got OpenBSD up and running on a Pi 3B. I've documented the process, in case it is useful to anyone else.

Building a Gentoo image for many low power computers?
You can take some inspiration from the shell scripts I wrote to build Gentoo Raspberry Pi images at some point: https://github.com/StephanvanSchaik/rpi-gentoo-images

Raspberry Pi 4 running Gentoo?
I don't actively maintain this project, because a) I mostly needed these images for a project that spanned a few weeks and b) I know of no active users, but the shell scripts could be useful to anyone interested: https://github.com/StephanvanSchaik/rpi-gentoo-images and you can open issues if you encounter any, and I will probably have time to look at them.
