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.

CentOS Stream and Raspberry Pi
Correct. It does not as shipped. However, the use of this project will bring the firmware into system ready spec, so it can boot with a standard aarch64 UEFI image: https://github.com/pftf/RPi4

What is the most trusted hardware most OpenBSD people would suggest?
are you using the uefi firmware from https://github.com/pftf/RPi4 or are you trying to boot through the gpio serial header?I don't think the pi can boot on its own through uboot unless your using a serial/usb connection

Kernel Updates Installed but not Loading
Looks like you can use Grub on UEFI ARM systems, but Raspberry Pi isn't natively running UEFI. https://github.com/pftf/RPi4
-
Flatcar Container Linux
The rpi4 has uefi firmware available, this allows you to boot any generic uefi aarch64 image, you no longer need rpi specific images.

Does NetBSD 9.3 work on the RaspberryPi 4?
Straight out of the box, the image wouldn't boot, said that start.elf was invalid, so I went to https://github.com/pftf/RPi4/releases as suggested in the Readme.md file in the EFI partition. I installed that (version 1.34) over the existing EFI partition and tried again. That booted up the kernel, but it apparently died when it enabled the interrupt controller. The last messages are about armgic0.

Ethernet on my Pi4 is giving me headaches
Maybe similar discussion on github:

How can I dual boot Fedora on Pi4?
You can use these firmware images for UEFI as well as install with the arm ISO. I didn't have graphics acceleration that way, but it might be an easy fix.

Orange Pi 5: 8-core CPU 2.4GHz, up to 32GB DDR4, $60 preorders ship Dec. 1
I'm guessing these are not SystemReady certified with UEFI firmware and require "bespoke" preinstalled arm images?

https://developer.arm.com/documentation/102677/0100/UEFI-req...
I have three SystemReady arm devices and it's pretty awesome to be able to just boot an aarch64 live ISO and install. The experience is the same for running vms via ESXi arm edition.

Honeycomb LX2 - https://github.com/SolidRun/lx2160a_uefi
RPI4 - https://github.com/pftf/RPi4
It can be tedious building/provisioning the firmware but once complete they are ready for any aarch64 uefi iso.
What is annoying however is when distros don't ship an aarch64 uefi iso - but instead choose to build a zillion device specific "preinstalled" arm images. (looking at you manjaro)
The list of supported devices for ESXi arm edition is a great place to start for identifying options and is constantly updated.

[Aarch64] Help creating a generic image that boots on the Raspberry Pi 4
The only reason why I am was trying to build the image was because I wanted to move stuff as mainline as possible and was worried that any installation made with the help of RPi4 UEFI firmware would stop booting after a while.

I have come to bury the BIOS, not to open it: The need for holistic systems
Most ARM hardware is cellphones, raspberry pi and the Mac M1, which certainly aren't that type.
But a lot of ARM hardware is that type. The keywords are SBSA / SBBR / SystemReady. If your hardware is SBBR compatible then Fedora and Ubuntu's ARM64 iso, and Windows ARM64, downloaded from their website, will at least boot fine (drivers are a different question as always).
There's a good list of supported hardware in the lower half of https://community.arm.com/arm-community-blogs/b/architecture... . Many systems from Avantek, Gigabyte, NXP, Marvell, Solidrun etc are standardizing on this way of booting.
DeviceTree is low-level enough that you can implement UEFI on top of it. There's a UEFI port for the Raspberry Pi 4 at https://rpi4-uefi.dev/ that produces an SBBR layer, allowing it to boot any off-the-shelf ARM64 SBBR distro.

What do you prefer more and why?
I definitely agree that immutability offers considerable value in regards to improving security. But arguably it's insufficient to pull the win over mutable Fedora due to the losses caused by the inability to install the kernel-hardened package and the lack of UKI (Unified Kernel Image) support.

Looking to test out fedora Silverblue. I have only 1 question
Issue: https://github.com/coreos/rpm-ostree/issues/3944

What is the difference between Immutable Desktops and non Immutable Desktops?
Oversimplifying might have been the most sensible in this context. However, you might have gone a little bit too far as your description fits only NixOS, Guix and distros that utilize rpm-ostree.

Universal Blue is a new paradigm for the Linux desktop and it's brilliant
here's the documentation of ostree (the package manager)

Fedora Silverblue 38: rpm-ostree crashes
Now... this was VERY alarming to say the least, so I went online and did indeed find an issue on GitHub.
- Fedora Linux 38 released!
-
The New website is here, with modern UI. And getfedora.org redirect to fedoraproject.org with fresh look.๐
And there are still some issues with layering. Some packages that don't behave or follow standards will modify files in /usr/local, which isn't supported, so you simply won't be able to install them on Silverblue. I think it's the same for /opt as well. (https://github.com/coreos/rpm-ostree/issues/233) This means it fundamentally can't do everything Workstation can, which is unfortunate.

Flatcar Container Linux
ublue is based off of fedora and rpm-ostree, which is what "CoreOS" is today.
What happened was old school CoreOS was A/B partition based: https://github.com/coreos/docs/blob/master/os/sdk-disk-parti...
My memory is hazy but here's how I remember it: After Red Hat acquired CoreOS they rebased the entire thing around rpm-ostree, which is the CoreOS people know today: https://coreos.github.io/rpm-ostree/
At the time there was some anxiety in the community as to what would happen, as there was no direct upgrade path from old CoreOS to new CoreOS. Theoretically if we all believed the kool-aid we were drinking it's just a redeploy, no pets!
Kinvolk came along, forked it, and made Flatcar Linux, which kept the A/B partitioning system, and more crucially, let you just change a config file and all your old CoreOS nodes would just move to Flatcar and then you were good to go. So now if you wanted to stay on the system you were comfortable with you could just use Flatcar. If the composability of rpm-ostree attracted you then new CoreOS have you covered. Red Hat deserves a hat tip here because in their documentation/blog they explicitly mentioned Flatcar as an option for people who wanted to stick with what they know, which I thought was cool and how I discovered it!
Later on Microsoft acquired Kinvolk and and then people raised eyebrows. I have not checked in a while but the folks involved continued to do their thing and run it like a good OSS project, hold public meetings, all that stuff.
I use both and they're both high quality.

Immutable Linux Distributions for Those Looking to Embrace the Future
Whenever I was looking at using CoreOS, I was somewhat disheartened that automatic reboots weren't built in: https://github.com/coreos/rpm-ostree/issues/2831. Has this changed? I know zincati has maintenance window support, which would also be nice to have.
