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.

P14s (T14 gen2) AMD battery life on Linux
I still wondering how to control CPU, found many stuff such as amd_pstate, ryzen_smu, RyzenAdj, amdctl. Now I'm trying to figure something out but it has too many options ☺

Undervolt?
There is https://github.com/kevinlekiller/amdctl/ . It does require additional kernel params and possibly modules (idk if msr is loaded on the deck - should check) which would be overwritten by system updates. Maybe somebody has used it before?

Starbook Mk V. If you know of something better, leave a comment.
Another advantage for AMD I guess. RyzenAdj is super configurable (and scriptable for udev events) and has worked great for me for power curve and temp control, and although I haven't tried it, there appears to be a good tool, amdctl for pretty fine grained voltage and clock control now as well.
- Linux has very bad battery duration compared to Windows (PART 2). I tried everything: TLP, laptop-mode-tools, powertop, auto-cpufreq, hw acceleration, power-profiles-daemon, ryzen-controller... I still have huge battery problems. What can I do?

After that, you can try more advanced tweaks like undervolting and whatnot.

Improve battery life
I know that Pop os doesn't recommend installing tlp because it might interfere with system-76 power, Is it the same for something like powertop or auto-cpufreq?

NUC X15 abnormal temperature while running Linux
The device had only been purchased ~1-2 months ago so I don't think that dust in the fans would be an issue (as suggested in another post; Intel NUC's overheating - Solution!). The installation of Linux is more or less fresh, the only thing (I think) installed that would affect temperatures is auto-cpufreq (which has slightly lowered temperatures).

You can also use tools like auto-cpufreq to reduce your cpu frequencies when not in heavy load. auto-cpufreq can be configured a lot to meet your specific needs. auto-cpufreq: https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/auto-cpufreq
