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.

This would have made my life so much easier in the beginning....
A majority of routers are already based on the Linux kernel. Many are just BusyBox. The most common Linux firewalls are iptables and nftables. With the latter being the most popular one due to being around longer. They are really fine grained and powerful.

kubectl run --command vs -- arguments
As Busybox DockerFile does not contain any EntryPoint(https://github.com/docker-library/busybox/blob/master/musl/Dockerfile), so arguments specified in the kubectl command will only be used, so the command will look like:
- Emacs standing alone on a Linux Kernel

So Im working on making my own OS from scratch. Im using a linux based os for reverse engineering but I need help in understanding how to use the tools that are in rar/zip files. If anyone can direct me to some tutorials or resources to read that would be a big help.
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/arm64/booting.rst This was my guiding light for a project a while back. It describes what Linux expects "time zero" looks like for the system; whatever operating system is going to boot needs that kind of contract between the boot environment and its own entry point. You can develop a lightweight linux-based OS with that document and a package like https://busybox.net/

- BusyBox 1.36.0

UUTILS, musl libc, BusyBox , etc.

Do you think Linux will become more supported and eventually be able to play every game that windows can? If so, how far in the future?
For libc, we have musl as an alternate implementation. For most coreutils, we have busybox and the BSD coreutils. For desktop environments, you can use something like xfce.

Linux as single app ?
unikernels maybe. e.g. there is HermiTux

Ask HN: How are you using unikernels?
The definition of what a unikernel is needs to be narrowed down, a lot of these projects in the space (not all the ones listed above) have material differences that are not clear:
- some run only one language
- some require recompilation
- some essentially swap out libraries, others do something closer to dropping your already mostly static binary in a minimal disk image
- some build pid1 processes, others VMs images
Anyway, here are some additional entries in the space:
- https://ssrg-vt.github.io/hermitux/
- https://github.com/linuxkit/linuxkit (more embedded/minimal VM than unikernel)
- https://nabla-containers.github.io/ (runs on Solo5)
I am going through using Linuxkit to build AMIs for cloud providers now. I wouldn’t necessarily class linuxkit as a universal project because it doesn’t have the hallmark blurring of user and kernel space or kernel-as-a-library but you can customize the kernel so it’s an adjacent idea, and I think it’s the one most likely to be in actual use at non-hyperscalers.

All about thread-local storage
What do you think of this, then? https://github.com/ssrg-vt/hermitux/wiki/Fast-system-calls-i...
