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.

Tools for Linux Distro Hoppers
Distrobox is a tool that enables us to try Linux distro CLI, including their package manager. This requires a containerization tool (e.g., Docker). In Windows, this can be achieved using WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)
- Distrobox: Use any Linux distribution inside your terminal

Fedora Atomic Desktops
I use containerized versions of things, ubuntu and chainguard images mostly.
You can always create containers with init if that's how you want to do that though. Some distros publish images that come that way: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/blob/main/docs/useful_...

Operating System?
Yes, you can do that but I've seen others use something like distrobox to run linux inside of SteamOS: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/blob/main/docs/posts/steamdeck_guide.md

How much will I screw up my system after installing Merkuro Calendar (KDE Akonadi application), formerly called Kalendar, on GNOME?
For such cases you might use something like this: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox

Battery consumption of using remote development with WSL2?
Btw #3: Depending on what the user is trying to accomplish, e.g. maybe to make WSL(2) itself more of a "subsystem" than a "container engine", using something like Distrobox or nsbox.dev can be a good idea (along with Docker or Podman in Distrobox's case; the other one uses systemd-nspawn).

Cannot run containers with Distrobox
1. Find here in "Containers Distros" section the distro image that you want to install ("Toolbox" versions are better because they are configured for Distrobox) and get it URL: https://distrobox.it/compatibility/#containers-distros 2. Use that URL to create Distrobox: distrobox create -i registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora-toolbox:39 -n fedora_1_39 3. Enter Distrobox fedora_1_39: distrobox enter fedora_1_39 4. You are already in Distrobox console. Look at the name in console, it should be include the container name. 5. To exit Distrobox: exit 6. If you run: distrobox list you will see all distroboxes on the system. You will also see that distrobox that we exited is still running. 7. To stop distrobox use commands: distrobox stop fedora_1_39

Devbox: Instant, easy, and predictable shells and containers
So essentially this seems like another implementation of what toolbox and distrobox is implementing.
https://github.com/containers/toolbox/
https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox
With the downside of not having the option to select a Linux distro and being locked to the nixpkgs repositories?
-
C Package Manager
You can also do that with rootless containers via Podman. There’s even a convenient wrapper for that workflow made by Red Hat called Toolbox (https://github.com/containers/toolbox)

Any insight when, if ever, will Poettering's Authenticated Boot and Disk Encryption -vision be nicely supported on Arch Linux?
The main issues I think is that many of these ideas are only really compatible with an immutable OS like Fedora Silverblue and ostree-like systems. It works better where you can cut releases and say "this is the base system" while a rolling release distribution is a moving target where you will be struggling with idiosyncrasies. The mutable part would be /home on a separate partition and any tool usage would be confined into toolbox like containers.

Running a private Arch environment as a regular user without a virtual machine
Sounds very similar to https://github.com/containers/toolbox
-
GitHub - 89luca89/distrobox: Use any linux distribution inside your terminal.
It implements what https://github.com/containers/toolbox does but in a simplified way using POSIX sh and with broader compatibility.

netstat -tulpen to csv format
You can run any command from any distro using containers. I recently discovered toolbox but I haven't had time to try it yet. I still make my own Ubuntu containers when I'm after some command from there.

try.nvim -- a toy development container for trying out neovim
There are efforts to get specifically Arch integrated and there's this github repo with an image, but I couldn't get sudo support to work with the included script... and yeah, not worth the effort for now.
What are some alternatives?
