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.

Agents of Change: Navigating the Rise of AI Agents in 2024
AutoGen is an AI framework by Microsoft designed to streamline multi-agent conversations. AutoGen allows agents to communicate, share information, and make collective decisions. This setup enhances the responsiveness and dynamism of conversations. Developers use AutoGen to tailor agents to specific roles, such as programmer, content writer, CEO, etc. This enhances their ability to handle tasks from simple queries to intricate problem-solving.

Launch HN: Glide (YC W19) – AI-assisted technical design docs
I am still playing around with the project but FYI, the parsing for the github repo URL at https://glide.agenticlabs.com/ will fail if there's a trailing slash in the repo link i.e. https://github.com/microsoft/autogen/ won't work but https://github.com/microsoft/autogen will.

AI is making us all more productive — but in a weird and unexpected way
I disagree with the conclusion. In software, I've seen 10x engineers in person and I don't think they're replaceable. Whereas, the new college grad or that entry level dev who doesn't design anything and just writes small amounts of code, doing exactly as told is replaceable by an AI. Frameworks similar to Microsoft Autogen(https://github.com/microsoft/autogen) can in theory build agents who can do these tasks with ease whereas a 10x engineer can focus on directing the agents and designing systems.

Windows 11 now comes with its own adware
Regarding the stability issue on a dev machine - you may be interested in playing with one of the immutable-os distros, such as SilverBlue (fedora based).
The high-level take-away is you can't break your actual OS since it's root filesystem is read-only, and you use "pet" containers (on docker, podman, whatever) to do your work in. Applications are either sandboxed via Flatpak, or installed/run inside your pet containers. If your pet container dies, you cry about it for a moment, and when you're ready you get a new one - your actual os and other containers remain unaffected.
I use distrobox[1] to create/run the pet containers.

Tools for Linux Distro Hoppers
Distrobox is a tool that enables us to try Linux distro CLI, including their package manager. This requires a containerization tool (e.g., Docker). In Windows, this can be achieved using WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)
- Distrobox: Use any Linux distribution inside your terminal

Fedora Atomic Desktops
I use containerized versions of things, ubuntu and chainguard images mostly.
You can always create containers with init if that's how you want to do that though. Some distros publish images that come that way: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/blob/main/docs/useful_...

Operating System?
Yes, you can do that but I've seen others use something like distrobox to run linux inside of SteamOS: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/blob/main/docs/posts/steamdeck_guide.md

How much will I screw up my system after installing Merkuro Calendar (KDE Akonadi application), formerly called Kalendar, on GNOME?
For such cases you might use something like this: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox

Battery consumption of using remote development with WSL2?
Btw #3: Depending on what the user is trying to accomplish, e.g. maybe to make WSL(2) itself more of a "subsystem" than a "container engine", using something like Distrobox or nsbox.dev can be a good idea (along with Docker or Podman in Distrobox's case; the other one uses systemd-nspawn).

Cannot run containers with Distrobox
1. Find here in "Containers Distros" section the distro image that you want to install ("Toolbox" versions are better because they are configured for Distrobox) and get it URL: https://distrobox.it/compatibility/#containers-distros 2. Use that URL to create Distrobox: distrobox create -i registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora-toolbox:39 -n fedora_1_39 3. Enter Distrobox fedora_1_39: distrobox enter fedora_1_39 4. You are already in Distrobox console. Look at the name in console, it should be include the container name. 5. To exit Distrobox: exit 6. If you run: distrobox list you will see all distroboxes on the system. You will also see that distrobox that we exited is still running. 7. To stop distrobox use commands: distrobox stop fedora_1_39
