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.

VS Code on Lenovo ideaPad duet 5?
because they come rather bare, you'll have to do some setup for your Crostini containers (e.g., I use crostini-kde-setup: Initialize a Chromebook Linux container to run KDE Apps since I like the KDE apps),

I have a chromeOS problem
Hmmm: * re: "what are you using them for?" I have Chromebooks in several rooms for convenience. Besides the obvious browsing, google docs, etc., I run Crostini with a few KDE apps (using CROSTINI KDE SETUP) and Linux games (e.g., Aisleriot). I use the KDE apps to access my Linux server for management, etc. * re: "why are chromeboxes not more popular?" (1) Every time I considered a Chromebox, they seem poor values (I think the volume is too low for good pricing). (2) They have a AUE which devalues them. * aside: it seems the price differential has shrunk between a Windows laptop and Chromebook of similar specs; the hassle of Crostini makes Chromebooks about as much maintenance as Linux (on a repurposed Windows laptop) and the Linux/Windows laptops don't have AUE. So, in my case, I've bought my last Chromebook (unless the status quo is disturbed).

How do I get rid of these "ghost" icons from my Chromebook shelf?
For reasons I don't understand, sometimes the Linux icons do not get mapped correctly. More or less, you can move all the .desktop files, sleep a bit, and put them back, and that might fix them. Personally, I use crostini-kde-setup to prep my linux container and do maintenance. To roll-your-own, its maintcli uses these commands:

So Restoring Crostini has been at 100% now for 45 mins.
Probably, too little, too late (and perhaps not helpful), but I've always found Crostini restores unreliable. In my experience, it helps if you reboot just before the restore, but backups sometimes just don't work. In the best cases, they are time killers because backup/restore is so slow. So, personally, I consider Crostini containers "disposable"; and I use a script to re-install quickly (starting with Crostini-KDE-Setup), and I don't keep any data within the container that is painful to lose.

Benefit of Linux?
BTW, I use crostini-kde-setup to set up a usable Linux quickly. Having Discover installed lets you browse and install apps w/o having to learn the Linux command line interface.

My first week with a Chromebook was kindda ok
BTW, I normally install crostini-kde-setup, and then "upgrade" to Debian Sid (Debian Testing would be similar). This advances all your apps and the kernel to nearly the latest (rather than pokey old Debian Stable). You can do that upgrade (or similar switch-outs) all yourself with some research.

Crouton vs. Crostini and ideal Chromebooks for Linux use
On the Chromebook, I'd then install https://github.com/joedefen/crostini-kde-setup and run Debian "unstable". Then use the Chromebook/Chrome for what it does best, and augment it with the Linux apps you need (and that provides a good starter set).

Useful Tools and Programs for Chrome OS
I personally use https://github.com/joedefen/crostini-kde-setup ... and somehow covers completely different topics, but, for its coverage, it makes doing things a one-button push rather than simply giving instructions.

Unison File Synchronizer
If you look at the release notes you can see that some versions say they are protocol compatible with prior X.Y version release

Ask HN: Best modern file transfer/synchronization protocol?
I highly recommend Unison (https://github.com/bcpierce00/unison)
It allows you to sync between 2 machines (bi-directional) over TCP or SSH.
Note that TCP way is not encrypted, you may use wireguard as transport layer encryption for that purpose...
You can use an external application to copy if file size is larger than an arbitrary number. (Eg: use rsync for files > 1gb)

Google Drive + Obsidian + Linux?
The iOS app only syncs via iCloud or Obsidian Sync. I was in a similar situation (wanted to sync to Linux PCs and iPhone without paying for Sync), but I do have one always on Mac, so I set up a script that runs every minute, syncing my vault on iCloud with an identical vault on Synology Drive. My script basically just runs Unison once every few minutes to keep the two vaults in sync.

how can i sync 2 folders? between 2 machines
Unison is another alternative. I use it to synchronize my music with a Samba share and an usb stick, works great.
- How can I run rsync for two directories when files in either directory changes with a CLI, and without an infinite loop?
-
Are there any CLIs or good ways on macOS to real-time / continuously sync two folders on the same drive?
Unison
- Is there a way to automatically sync files between Linux computers (like Dropbox), perhaps with something like rsync?

Darke Files is a version control and file synchronization system
I've tested many file synchronization. I rely via scripts on Unison, originally authored by the computer scientist Benjamin Pierce, and now decades of tweaking by a strong open source community.
https://github.com/bcpierce00/unison
I'd love to see Darke Files get everything right that Unison gets right, that nearly all commercial projects get wrong, through a blend of arrogance and ignorance:
* Meta data. It takes a lot to insure that two copies of a MacOS file appear identical to a user. There used to be a test suite on the web that embarrassed everybody.
* Atomic folders such as ".git" or an application bundle. A prototypical example is a MacOS disk image, supported by a folder of many small files. This helps minimize incremental backup and transfer. Unison lets you specify the conflict resolution at the folder level, all-or-nothing decide which copy or fix it.
* Symbolic links. This is wildly complicated by users, sure they're right, who want special handling to hack features into sync software that isn't there. A symbolic link is just a file, with correct use the responsibility of the user. You wouldn't want sync software stopping to view your porn, right? They're just files, not the sync software's business.
I use Dropbox for various purposes because I need to, but they bungle more of this than one would expect. For example, a typical MacOS application bundle can have internal symbolic links a typical user never notices, pointing the "current" version of resources to a versioned folder. Last I checked, Dropbox expands the symbolic link into a redundant copy, wasting space without kneecapping the app.
One could go on...

I've been using Unison [1] to sync two and more computers for years. I can't recommend it enough.
