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.

An Overview of Nix in Practice
You can run containers on NixOS (also through systemd) and get the same benefits explained in this article. NixOS supports both Podman and Docker as a runtime. There is also the option to run NixOS containers. See: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/NixOS_Containers.
The Docker Compose story is a bit rough around the edges, though. I’m actually working on a tool to automatically convert a Compose file into a NixOS config you can import as-is. Still kinda early, but the skeleton works: https://github.com/aksiksi/compose2nix

Considerations for a long-running Raspberry Pi
Switching to gokrazy[0] was the best thing I did for my Raspberry Pi uptimes. I think a lot of that is because it defaults to using read-only partitions so the common issue of SD cards falling over when you run apt upgrade no longer happens.
But I also think that gokrazy's simplicity and design helps it be just a solid, reliable foundation to build on top of.

Easylkb: Easy Linux Kernel Builder
The idea there sounds a lot like https://gokrazy.org/, which builds a minimal go userland, wrapping one or more user provided go applications, and bundles in a linux kernel.
Targets mostly at single board computers, and I think it downloads pre-built kernels (and bootloaters if needed), rather than trying to build them directly, since getting a working cross compilation toolchain set up and plumbed into the kernel compilation process is still a pain.
I've personally only used yocto/open-embedded for that which does nicely handle building the cross-compilation toolchain, kernel image, and modules. But it is kinda overkill for that task, being designed to build a whole userland too.

Userspace isn't slow, some kernel interfaces are
Fun! We have support for running on gokrazy (https://gokrazy.org/) already, and that's probably where Unikernel Linux is more applicable for us, for when people just want a "Tailscale appliance" image.
I'll email you.
