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.

inttf-kernel – Clear Linux kernel for Fedora 36 users
I'm unconvinced. JR links to the Clear Linux kernel patches, most of which don't look like they're performance related. (You don't need to be a developer to read them, most of them are prefixed with an explanation of what they do.)

Why Intel's optimizations on Clear Linux aren't merged into the official Linux kernel?
Clear Linux's kernel patches are here (AFAIK): https://github.com/clearlinux-pkgs/linux

Arch Linux Laptop Optimization Guide For Practical Use
once you know what you're doing it will take you probably 15min tops to do this unless you forget a `-j` option on the `make` or your computer is a potato. if you just found out how awesome it is squeezing the kernel for performance and are horny for flashy new patches, some decent sources I am aware of: https://github.com/Frogging-Family/linux-tkg https://github.com/sirlucjan/kernel-patches https://github.com/clearlinux-pkgs/linux https://github.com/CachyOS/cacule-cpu-scheduler (new maintainer uploads here, in case you thought it was dead. I use this over MuQSS/bitmap/anything else, I love it) ??? (if you find something else cool let me know)

Performance of Clear Linux, and why its not adopted in other kernels & Distros
Are you talking about linux-clear package? It just compile the mainline kernel with Clear Linux patchset.

- Positron kernel

i cant download or update anything due to my location. are there any other mirrors?
Well, Clear is mainly targeted at server usage anyway. On Arch, you might look at trying a kernel with the Clear Linux patchset. There's a number of other official and unofficial optimized kernels that might interest you as well. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel

Breaking a PRNG: Is It Called Xor Shift or Xor Shit?
Besides how great this blog post is, I really can't get over what the author of srandom did. Two weeks ago an issue was opened that pointed out xor-shift was not a secure PRNG. The srandom author replied by saying "prove it" and closed the issue. They also updated the readme to say that srandom is "probably the most secure PRNG available."[0]
I don't know if it was the github issue or the readme update that pushed Sc00bz over the edge to actually demonstrate the vulnerabilities. Maybe next time wait until after you've gotten an evaluation from a cryptographer before claiming "probably the most secure PRNG available."

Positron kernel
Does this refer to https://github.com/josenk/srandom?
What are some alternatives?
When comparing linux and srandom you can also consider the following projects:
linux-tkg - linux-tkg custom kernels
cacule-cpu-scheduler - The CacULE CPU scheduler is based on interactivity score mechanism. The interactivity score is inspired by the ULE scheduler (FreeBSD scheduler).
kernel-patches - Custom Linux kernel patches
