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.

Is it possible and realistic to learn independent of an API?
Sort of, I'd recommend a modern higher level API. I'm not sure what the current recommended ones are (probably bgfx), but assuming the wrapper is "low level enough", then the concepts you learn are still going to apply.

Ask HN: Released games built on FOSS engines?
https://github.com/bkaradzic/bgfx for just that FOSS intermediate rendering library (includes Minecraft)

Best graphics libraries for game development that are compatible with Apple Metal API?
bgfx. I have not used it, but I have heard good things about it.

LWJGL = SFML vs Allegro vs SDL vs Ogre vs ???
There's kind of a lack of this for C++ in 3D, I think it's often due to the necessity of a secondary scripting language in game engines with C++, which isn't necessarily needed in Java or C#. SFML is like that (but also 2D), Godot is similar (but more geared towards 2D). Ogre3D is an actual engine like I mentioned earlier, not sure how easy it is to use. Cocos2d is higher level, but is also 2D only. I'm not fond of SDL, it feels like a windowing library with slow old school immediate mode stuff attached, so it ends up not being good at the rest of the tacked on things. SDL is popular as a windowing library, and it's why you see it used everywhere (but the most notable uses of it aren't using their drawing capabilities), I often see bgfx thrown around, and for you it might be a good choice, though I have no experience with it.

Is it a crazy idea to create a 3D operating system?
Another route could be using an abstraction over Vulkan (faster, more efficient, more difficult): bgfx, dawn, magma, or wgpu (Rust).

The update we all want but will never get
now, java is actually quite a performant language and even if its not most of the performance bugs in mc are due to it being single threaded, inefficient chunk generation and optimizing, and it built ontop of opengl WHICH isn't much of a performance hit but its still ehh idk it doesn't matter that much (NOW SWITCHING THE GAME TO AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT GRAPHICS API WOULD SUCK ASS TO DO (and vulkan is quite verbose :))) (AND also bgfx would probably be better due to it being an abstraction layer ontop of all the graphics apis so minecraft could target many depending on your platform (and also bedrock used to (or still does i dont know) use bgfx before they switched to just two (IF IM READING MC WIKI RIGHT BECAUSE IM NOT ENTIRELY SURE IF THEY USE BGFX STILL ?? SO THEY COULD STILL BE TARGETING MULTIPLE YET THEY JUST WROTE THEIR NEW SHIT BAD IDK))

Which engine/program do you use?
Urho3D, an open source C++ game engine.

I'd like to learn game engine development - where to even start?
If you're literally clueless your best bet is to first start learning with an existing clean-ish engine like Urho3D implementing whatever feature/screwing-around or start with a framework like nVidia's Donut that gets you your window and basic rendering in place.

Game Engine Renderer Architecture regarding UI
I would recommend tracking through the gist of Urho3D's batch/batchqueue stuff as it's a reasonable setup that is very intelligible (if you speak C++), it's not the greatest thing on the planet but you should be able to roughly grok it in an afternoon. Doing draw batch-pumps greatly streamlines the final drawing code.

Game engine for programmars
You could try Urho3D or its newer fork rbfx.

Preferred game engine
I use an engine called rbfx which is a fork of the Urho3D engine. A lot of it is just the fact that I've been using it for over a decade, so I am comfortable with it. I'm a programmer, not really comfortable with integrated editor engines such as Unity or Godot, and the easy C++ extensibility of the engine appeals to me. Plus it's decently powerful, and well supported on a lot of platforms (I build for Windows, WebGL, and very occasionally RPi for the most part) and is open source to satisfy that stubbornly libertarian side of my character.

What is the lightest C++ 3D game engine for Linux?
You might be interested in Urho3D.
-
I need a REALLY lightweight engine
If you don't mind something experimental, there is a C# version of Urho3D that is in fairly active development. There is also a C#-scriptable branch of the Urho3D fork, rbfx, located here. Both of these projects are still pretty in-the-works, but are still pretty usable.
