The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

GitUI
I mean, there's tools that make it easy to make a .deb https://crates.io/crates/cargo-deb
The Rust Project itself had put a lot of work into making sure that Rust and Rust-using programs could get into Debian by working with Debian folks to address issues.
I suspect that you've run into an anecdotal pattern, but I'm not sure that it is more than that.

What are some useful tools for Rust?
I use Cargo deb to create Debian / Ubuntu / ... package files.

Introducing runst: A dead simple notification daemon written in Rust
As a suggestion if you want to get a lot of users you could make a .deb file that packages the binary and a systemd service file. Using cargo-deb it's pretty trivial, the hardest part would be writing your systemd service file and you can probably just copy the dunst.service file with minimal modification:

Have you guys tried cargo-deb? Amazing!

Rustup, Cargo, Rustc??
cargo install does provide different options to change the installation dir (https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/commands/cargo-install.html) but I am uncertain, if there could be accociated issues. An alternative could be tools like https://github.com/mmstick/cargo-deb or https://github.com/iqlusioninc/cargo-rpm that can automatically create packages which can be used for a proper installation /usr/bin/ using your distributions packaging system.

Why does Nix have Haskell packages that are incompatible with GHC for a given version?
I'm not a great haskeller but I found haskell.nix better for Haskell projects, like the commenter on Discourse suggested. I've had a few issued regarding package versions with nixpkgs that haskell.nix solved.

Simple GHC stack for a novice
FWIW, there's also libraries like haskell.nix that solve the caching problem.

Any up-to-date cross-compiling methods for Raspberry Pi?
I would try haskell.nix.

Take the Nix Pill
If you want to hurt your brain, check out haskell.nix. That's some good stuff right there ^^

Trying to build a statically linked binary against glibc (Linux)
The haskell.nix framework is good for this.

GHC 9.4.1 Windows changes
One cool thing is that this will enable GHC builds using ucrt instead of vscrt in the future. Concretely, together with NixOS/nixpkgs#171418 and its follow-up NixOS/nixpkgs#173498), this will e.g. allow haskell.nix to upgrade to a newer wine pin for TH cross compilation: https://github.com/input-output-hk/haskell.nix/blob/dd13e822529ae5342494969bce8a457522a60100/overlays/wine.nix

How to make stack work like it's supposed to
I've been using IOHK's alternative infrastructure for this reason. It has its quirks but I've been happier with it. Before that I think I was using developPackage from the nixpkgs haskell tooling which had some introspection ability. You may consider trying that out. But as I remember this will not abide by your version bounds.

Announcing `safe-coloured-text`
There's a lot to like here. Alas, despite minimal dependencies, terminfo is somehow uniquely problematic in haskell.nix.

Memory from finished thread is not getting reclaimed
If you are somewhat comfortable with nix: https://github.com/input-output-hk/haskell.nix supports GHCJS 8.10.x (in particular 8.10.7).
