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.

The Linux Kernel Prepares for Rust 1.77 Upgrade
Rust is backwards compatible when you stick to stable features, but the kernel uses unstable features that can and do incur breaking changes.

Mark Russinovich: “Working towards enabling Windows driver development in Rust”
> How would this work?
Don't know exactly what you're asking.
> And why would it be a better idea?
Poorly written device drivers are a significant attack vector. It's one of the reasons Linux is now exploring using Rust for its own device drivers.[0] You may be asking -- why Rust and not some other language? Rust has many of the performance and interoperability advantages of C and C++, but as noted, makes certain classes of memory safety issues impossible. Rust also has significant mindshare among systems programming communities.

The Linux Kernel Module Programming Guide
Ctrl-F "rust"
https://rust-for-linux.com/ links to LWN articles at https://lwn.net/Kernel/Index/#Development_tools-Rust that suggest that only basic modules are yet possible with the rust support in Linux kernels 6.2 and 6.3.
Rust-for-linux links to the Android binder module though:
> Android Binder Driver: This project is an effort to rewrite Android's Binder kernel driver in Rust.
> Motivation: Binder is one of the most security and performance critical components of Android. Android isolates apps from each other and the system by assigning each app a unique user ID (UID). This is called "application sandboxing", and is a fundamental tenet of the Android Platform Security Model.
> The majority of inter-process communication (IPC) on Android goes through Binder. Thus, memory unsafety vulnerabilities are especially critical when they happen in the Binder driver
... "Rust in the Linux kernel" (2021) https://security.googleblog.com/2021/04/rust-in-linux-kernel... :
> [...] We also need designs that allow code in the two languages to interact with each other: we're particularly interested in safe, zero-cost abstractions that allow Rust code to use kernel functionality written in C, and how to implement functionality in idiomatic Rust that can be called seamlessly from the C portions of the kernel.
> Since Rust is a new language for the kernel, we also have the opportunity to enforce best practices in terms of documentation and uniformity. For example, we have specific machine-checked requirements around the usage of unsafe code: for every unsafe function, the developer must document the requirements that need to be satisfied by callers to ensure that its usage is safe; additionally, for every call to unsafe functions (or usage of unsafe constructs like dereferencing a raw pointer), the developer must document the justification for why it is safe to do so.
> We'll now show how such a driver would be implemented in Rust, contrasting it with a C implementation. [...]
This guide with unsafe rust that calls into the C, and then with next gen much safer rust right next to it would be a helpful resource too.

Yes, I definitely agree that it's a problem that pr_info implicitly wraps its arguments in unsafe {}. I wrote my own Pull Request with a trival fix.

how to compile a rust "hello world" with kernel 6.1?
Note that this template won't work with Linux 6.1, which has very minimal Rust support. You'll want the RustForLinux tree, or maybe Linux 6.2.

Sony FW900 Widescreen CRT Trinitron
DOSBox Staging has the best CRT emulation I've seen. It really feels like going back to a VGA monitor.

Anyhow whioch dosbox? Well there were non release version somewhere on t he stage but it got fairly bad and https://dosbox-staging.github.io/ is probbaly a better choice.

How in the world do I change the keys on the DOSBOX Duke Nukem?? And also the screen size.
You may also want to consider alternatives, such as DOSBox Staging, DOSBox Enhanced Community Edition, or DOSBox-X.. or if you're looking for a more user friendly experience, you can also try the eDuke32, Raze, or JFDuke3D community ports instead of messing around with DOS settings. Hope this helps!

When installing a game and it prompts you to insert disk 2, what do I do?
In DOSBox Staging you can type imgmount /? and it will show you some usage examples, including the one with multiple floppies :).

Do yall have recommendations for games on gog?
The version of DOSbox the above games come with is very old, so you may want to look into something like https://dosbox-staging.github.io/, which will run those games much better on newer hardware.
- DOSBox Staging is going to drop pixel-perfect scaling as a feature

Lo puedes jugar emulando DOS en DOSBox (recomiendo el "fork" DOSBox Staging) o a través de un source port llamado Commander Genius, que es más fácil de usar y tiene algunas facilidades para la modernidad.
