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.

I'm releasing cargo-sandbox
The Linux kernel has a huge attack surface, and privilege escalation vulnerabilities abound. This is why https://gvisor.dev/ exists - it's a memory-safe proxy for Linux syscalls. This is also why Chrome OS runs its Linux environment in a custom hypervisor written in Rust instead of containers.

Make your QEMU 10 times faster with this one weird trick
Same protocol, but the implementation is at the discretion of whoever writes the server code.
For example I went to check and in crosvm we use a BTreeMap already for Fids for our p9 implementation (thankfully): https://github.com/google/crosvm/blob/main/common/p9/src/ser...

Firecracker: Lightweight Virtualization for Serverless Applications (2020)
I'm not sure, but maybe because it started as a fork of crosvm[0]?

Is the source code for the Terminal app published online somewhere?
However i think what you're looking for is rather backend stuff, maybe take a look at here.

Bubblewrap: Unprivileged Sandboxing Tool for Linux
I've also been looking into shipping apps as VM images with a minimal kernel. Do you know if WHPX requires the user to have admin rights? On the host side, Windows and Mac ports of crosvm [1] could be useful. crosvm seems to have all the necessary virtio device types, but a greater focus on security than QEMU.

A Gentle Introduction to Containerization and Docker
Even though we will focus on Docker for this article, I wanted to mention that there are more container creation and management tools such as Podman, Rkt, and so on.

A Journey to Find an Ultimate Development Environment
By using containerization, the application will always have the same configuration that is used in the development environment and production environment. There is no more "It works on my machine". Some examples of containerization technologies are Docker and Podman.

Anatomy of Docker
Podman Documentation. Podman is a daemonless container engine for developing, managing, and running OCI Containers on your Linux System.

Exploring Podman: A More Secure Docker Alternative
AFAIK podman either already supports pods in quadlet container files, or will in the near future. https://github.com/containers/podman/pull/20762

Podman Desktop 1.6 released: Even more Kubernetes and Containers features
Podman as a devcontainers engine doesn't currently work if you use devcontainer features [1] or (and this sounds like you're issue) if you use WSL2.
I haven't submitted the WSL2 issue to the Podman team yet. If you get to it before I do, can you like it here?

Oracle data base
You can also use their Oracle Linux Docker images with the database preinstalled using either Podman or Docker. Just make absolutely sure you are downloading something you are licensed to use, because it seems really easy to accidentally infringe copyright via this method.

A call for Podman comparison charts
It's an open source project. https://github.com/containers/podman and https://podman.io - go there, get engaged, see what's going on and most important become part of the community and contribute!
