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.

Show HN: Multi-monitor KVM using just a USB switch
I’ve been using display-switch[0] for this for a while now. No problems whatsoever. Works on windows/mac/linux.

Hrvach/Deskhop: Fast Desktop Switching Device
Now it just need to be combined with something like https://github.com/haimgel/display-switch to do a DDC/CI monitor input switch as the USB activity moves around.
With a device like this you'd be missing the on_usb_connect event, but presumably you could do something (a special HID device button, an extra device id appearing, who knows) to make it work.

Can Dell’s 6K monitor beat their 8K monitor?
The best option I've found is to hook both computers up to a USB-only KVM, and plug them in via separate video cables to the monitor. Then set up the computers to tell the monitor to change inputs (via DDC commands, which most but not all monitors support) when you change devices on the KVM
There's software to help do this automatically (https://github.com/haimgel/display-switch)

Hell froze over: You can purchase a Thunderbolt 4 KVM Switch right now
Cynical footnote: PC users can continue to enjoy https://github.com/haimgel/display-switch while Mac users need to buy a 300 USD device. That's the Mac experience for you :D

Advice for shared MacBook Pro / Windows machine set up
There's a workaround in https://github.com/haimgel/display-switch now for M1 Macs. In general, you made your bed by buying a Mac, sleep in it.

UBS-C dual monitor dock for PC and work laptop
Then we will run https://github.com/haimgel/display-switch to have the monitors switch inputs when you use the USB switch.

- I built a widget to adjust the brightness of external monitors

Wayland brightness.
There is an out-of-tree kernel module that exposes the DDC-CI interface as a regular brightness control, so any laptop-oriented brightness control tool will work afterwards.

External monitor brightness not working
Those tools use the kernel backlight system, which doesn't support external monitors out of the box. It's the same with Xorg. You can get the ddcci-backlight driver: https://gitlab.com/ddcci-driver-linux/ddcci-driver-linux/

GNOME 43: I don't see the screen brightness slider
To add to this: if you install ddcci-driver-linux GNOME should be able to control your brightness again. This removes the need for any extensions, and it's what I've been using for my monitor for the last few years.

Linux's Display Brightness/Backlight Interface Is Finally Being Overhauled
There is an out of tree kernel module doing just that (integrating ddc/ci, the control channel for external monitor*, with the backlight system). And someone is working on upstreaming it
-
Currently trying to switch from Windows to Linux and struggling hard. Should I stick with it?
This is kinda a self promotion but for the brightness issue https://gitlab.com/ddcci-driver-linux/ddcci-driver-linux may fix it. Or https://gitlab.com/YusufKhanAbdulHalim/ddcci-driver-linux/-/tree/master may fix it(if the first one doesnt work use the second one).
- Can't install ddcci-dkms apt package (external monitor brightness integration)

The journey to controlling external monitors on M1 Macs
There is an unofficial Linux kernel module that allows userspace control of brightness (in a similar way to how laptop brightness is controllable):
