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.

PSA: upgrade your LUKS key derivation function
People should stop using plain passwords to protect data and switch to something better.oster/ + Yubikey

[Boot error] Initramfs unpacking failed after updating to 6.0.1
Change from mkinitcpio to booster. It's faster and produce smaller images.
-
Dracut or Genkernel?
Neither, use booster.
-
Booster initramfs release 0.9 got ZFS support
Booster is an initramfs - a type of software that runs early during the boot process and helps to setup system, e.g. perform disk unlock, load extra drivers, setup ZFS filesystem, and so on.
-
You can end up without any kernel to boot if your computer crashes during a pacman update
I don't have high hopes that this will change in mkinitcpio, but perhaps you could bring it up with booster (which copied the mkinitcpio hooks and removal scripts)

Is There Something To Improve to my arch install "Guide"?
This is my personal preference, but consider switching to booster.
-
What is your current setup? Bootloader, filesystem, partitions, etc.
initramfs: booster - TPM2 support, way faster than mkinitcpio, autodiscovering root partition
-
Complex Issue:
Note I'm using booster, so assuming you're using the default mkinitcpio you probably want /boot/initramfs-linux.img. Also, don't forget to modify if your ESP isn't mounted at /boot like mine.
-
Systemd 250 released
Booster initramfs generator supports TPM, Yubikey and Network binding so you can easily protect your data using the strategy you want.

Booster dont loads with efistub
GPT table detection has higher priority at booster code. But for some reason it does not identify your partition table as GPT. Filed a github bug for it https://github.com/anatol/booster/issues/119

Damn Small Linux 2024
I was looking for a lightweight OS to run on old Asus Eee PC 1005 HA, which uses a 32-bit Intel Atom N270 processor. I installed Void Linux (https://voidlinux.org/).
I may give DSL 2024 a try and see how it compares.

When are we ditching systemd?

- Une nouvelle mise à jour de Systemd permettra à Linux de bénéficier de l'infâme "écran bleu de la mort" de Windows, mais la fonctionnalité a reçu un accueil très mitigé

How do I update one of these premade ESP32 boards?
My computer is running Void Linux and it has only a wired network connection. I can hook up my phone for USB tethering if I need to connect to the WiFi of the ESP32. How do I update the software without downloading some shady programs from filesharing site links on my system? I have the Arduino IDE and the esptool.py script installed.

Hyphens, minus, and dashes in Debian man pages
Classic "everyone is using the software wrong, but it's the fault of everyone, and not the software".
Some distros like Void seem to patch this out.[1]
From mandoc/mdocml's mandoc_char(7) [2]
In roff(7) documents, the minus sign is normally written as ‘\-’. In manual pages, some style guides recommend to also use ‘\-’ if an ASCII 0x2d “hyphen-minus” output glyph that can be copied and pasted is desired in output modes supporting it, for example in -T utf8 and -T html. But currently, no practically relevant manual page formatter requires that subtlety, so in manual pages, it is sufficient to write plain ‘-’ to represent hyphen, minus, and hyphen-minus.
Which is the common-sense thing to do.
Meanwhile, GNU projects become increasingly less relevant due to obnoxiousness like this.
In general the amount of wankery of "the correct hyphen" is staggering.

Thoughts on Void Linux?
So I was about to configure a new Archlinux build on my PC and came across Void Linux. I had already read about it a year ago but never researched it in depth. I know that is a Linux distribution made from scratch, with a different package manager and so on. Void Linux users or people who have tried it, what are your thoughts on it? Do you think the PM is easy to use? what about updates and bugs? what desktop or Tilling Window Manager do you use? could you tell me about it?

Question about python venv
Good news about dbus-next: https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/46760

u-root - A fully Go userland with Linux bootloaders! u-root can create a one-binary root file system (initramfs) containing a busybox-like set of tools written in Go.
AppImageLauncher - Helper application for Linux distributions serving as a kind of "entry point" for running and integrating AppImages
tang - Tang binding daemon
ungoogled-chromium - Google Chromium, sans integration with Google
yubikey-full-disk-encryption - Use YubiKey to unlock a LUKS partition
gentoo - Official Gentoo ebuild repository
sslmgr - A layer of abstraction the around acme/autocert certificate manager (Golang)
nix - Nix, the purely functional package manager
zip - Fork of Go's archive/zip to add reading/writing of password protected zip files.
sway - i3-compatible Wayland compositor
set - Package set is a small wrapper around the official reflect package that facilitates loose type conversion and assignment into native Go types.
