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.

Using hash to compare files
You should check out my program dano. It has a dupe detection function.
-
Use `dano` to find duplicate media files
dano is a wrapper for ffmpeg that checksums the internal file streams of ffmpeg compatible media files, and stores them in a format which can be used to verify such checksums later. This is handy, because, should you choose to change metadata tags, or change file names, the media checksums should remain the same.

Frustration with Linux'y installs... just venting....
My best advice (from a person who knows only enough to package his own projects) is it depends on the project. For my own Rust projects, I've found a Debian autopackager called cargo-deb for cargo. I convert those deb packages to rpm with alien. I upload both to the repo manually, and have a script which generates what I need and uploads to a PPA.

Ubuntu/Debian Users: Something to be thankful for -- a `httm` PPA
The meaty part of the holidays comes a little early this year for Ubuntu/Debian users, as I've prepared a special treat -- a PPA for httm (and dano)!

How you protect and back up your music? I have an external drive and I am afraid that one day it will be damaged and I will lose everything
If you use something like ZFS, then you have a system thats watching your entire data path. If you're not paranoid, afraid of other ways your data can be corrupted, bit rot, etc. (again you do you), you might still want to look at a program I wrote awhile ago, dano, and have a system to periodically verify the data on disk.

Using `httm` and ZFS to detect file modifications for `dano` (or getting a little sleazy to do a little good)
One thing ZFS doesn't do (and thank goodness it doesn't?), it doesn't detect out-of-band changes to files. If a program has the permissions to modify a file, ZFS happily modifies that file. But, for some files (and for the truly paranoid), we may want to keep additional metadata about file integrity. For instance, FLAC files keep checksums of its music streams. A program I wrote, dano, provides a way to do the same for all FFMPEG compatible media streams.

`dano` verifies your FLAC hashes 50% faster than `flac`

I forked SteamOS for my living room PC
> I only want some decent fan control instead of relying on random scripts off github. AMD has to release some sort of GUI panel for sure.
Have you tried CoreCtrl [0]?
> My 5800x3D and 6800XT deliver an outstanding Linux gaming experience.
I have a 7900XTX and performance under Linux has been at least on par with Windows, sometimes better (though not by much).
> May i ask what driver features are you missing?
I'm not GP but I'd love to see frame gen and stuff like anti-lag and upscaling integrated into amdgpu with some sort of official way of setting it (though looking at Adrenaline it might actually be best if it's left up to the community to create the GUIs).

How do I underclock my 7800 xt on arch linux?
Basically the 7800 xt has this bug where I need to lower the core clock of -80mhz to avoid it crashing with 2 different hdmi/vga monitors or something. On windows no problems, but what about arch linux? How do I lower it? Looks like corectrl doesn´t support 7000 series gpus (from what I understood), please help yall!

Is this apllied to 23.10 or just older Ubuntu?
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg Reboot your system. You should have more controls when you select Advanced as Performance mode. https://gitlab.com/corectrl/corectrl/-/wikis/Setup

AMD's 7900 XTX achieves better value for Stable Diffusion than Nvidia RTX 4080
> The AMD experience on Linux is vastly better than the Nvidia one.
I just wish we had an equivalent of AMD Software on Linux, so I could mess around with the settings more.
For example, I like to limit the GPU to 50-75% of it's total power for ambient heat/cooling reasons, or UPS/PSU/electricity bill reasons when specific games make it hard to cap framerates.
With AMD Software on Windows, it's no big deal. On Linux, the best I found was CoreCtrl: https://gitlab.com/corectrl/corectrl
Sadly, it doesn't seem to work all that well for my use case, which I mentioned in my blog post when using Linux instead of Windows as my daily driver at home too: https://blog.kronis.dev/articles/a-week-of-linux-instead-of-...
> You see, by default the card controls its own GPU and memory clock values, which means that when idle the GPU draws around 40 W of power. However, if I want to set a limit for how much W in total it can use, it also makes me set the GPU and memory clock values, which will them be fixed: so at idle the GPU will use about 60 W of power.

AMD really need to fix this. (7900 XTX vs 4080 power consumption)
If you set it to POWER_SAVING instead of 3D_FULL_SCREEN, it uses the highest boost clock a lot less. Or if you use something like corectrl's application profiles (maybe the Windows vendor driver control panel has them?), you can selectively disable boost clock states in specific games.

Motherboard for Gamers
I'm bias toward Asus motherboards. I have an "Asus TUF GAMING B550-PLUS WIFI II" and a "Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero (WI-FI) ATX". Both boards have a fan control feature in the BIOS/EFI. On the Windows side both boards come with Ai Suite 3 software. On the Linux side you might want to take a look at Corectrl ==> https://gitlab.com/corectrl/corectrl
