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.

Programmatically elevate a .NET application on any platform
[DllImport("libc")] private static extern uint geteuid(); public bool IsCurrentProcessElevated() { if (RuntimeInformation.IsOSPlatform(OSPlatform.Windows)) { // https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/blob/v6.0.100/src/Cli/dotnet/Installer/Windows/WindowsUtils.cs#L38 using var identity = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent(); var principal = new WindowsPrincipal(identity); return principal.IsInRole(WindowsBuiltInRole.Administrator); } // https://github.com/dotnet/maintenance-packages/blob/62823150914410d43a3fd9de246d882f2a21d5ef/src/Common/tests/TestUtilities/System/PlatformDetection.Unix.cs#L58 // 0 is the ID of the root user return geteuid() == 0; }

Swift was always going to be part of the OS
> There's definitely things they tried to improve on that... weren't really improvements. The way "assemblies" are matched in .NET is much more sophisticated- the goal there was to try to kill DLL hell. It evolved into the Global Assembly Cache, which is sort of the Windows Registry of DLLs. Not a huge fan of those bits.
The Global Assembly Cache did not make the jump to the modern .NET (Core). There was the thing called `dotnet store`, but it’s broken since .NET 6: https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/issues/24752
The assembly redirection hell has also been greatly reduced there.

.NET Blazor
I do the same.
I have a small write-up here: https://chrlschn.dev/blog/2023/10/end-to-end-type-safety-wit...
You get end-to-end type safety (even better once you connect it to EF Core since you get it all ways to your DB).
With this setup with hot-reload (currently broken in .NET 8 [0]), productivity is really, really good. Like tRPC but with one of the most powerful ORMs out there right now.

LÖVE: a framework to make 2D games in Lua
That's a twisted and wrong narrative
Unity like refers to a Editor driven approach
Unity became popular with its moonscript language (javascript like), they then ditched it to focus on C#, but what propelled unity to what it is today is the Editor driven approach, not c#, not DOTS
They are forced to transpile C# to C++ via IL2CPP as a result to target consoles/mobiles
C# is a disease when it comes to console/mobile support
It's a substantial dependency, quite heavy
And you are not free of unity like fuck ups, it's a microsoft language after all:
https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/issues/22247
And let's not forget when they changed the license of their debugger overnight to prevent people from using it in their products (jetbrains for example)
And them deprecating open source tooling to a proprietary/closed one for vscode (c# devkit)
Let's be careful when we recommend evil as an alternative to evil ;)

Writing Python like it's Rust
Another difference you might be surprised by is that the .NET tooling by default collects various data from your system and sends it to Microsoft [1]. If you want to avoid this (and still want to use .NET) you'll have to make sure that the environment variable DOTNET_CLI_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT is set in all contexts before touching anything.

.NET 8 – .NET Blog
It's a bit of a hit and miss as of today. CLI, back-end and natively compiled libraries (think dll/so/dylib or even .lib/.a - you can statically link NAOT binaries into other "unmanaged" code) work best, GUI - requires more work.
Avalonia[0] and MAUI[1] have known working templates with it, but YMMV.

What's New in Final RC for .NET 8, .NET MAUI, Asp.net Core and EF8
While this is the quite endorsed by the community: https://github.com/dotnet/maui/discussions/339
I think the fundamental issue is that desktop Linux is way too fragmented. Not only just GTK2/3 and Qt but you have GNOME, KDE, XFCE, Cinnamon and then you have X11, Xorg, Wayland...
To be honest, all those craps are why desktop Linux never took off. I'm very safe to say MAUI for Linux will eventually renders components off its own using framebuffer and hardware acceleration APIs such as OpenGL or Vulkan just because of the market fragmentations...
If desktop Linux truly wants to get the attention, it will need to unify. Fixing dependency hell using Flatpak is the right direction.
There is an existing old fork of MAUI for Linux that uses GTK: https://github.com/jsuarezruiz/maui-linux

I'm getting tired of these new waves of posts against Maui
But, if you really want to add some value, luckily, Maui is an open source platform, the code is right there, dig into it, and learn how it works under the hood (it will also help you to learn a lot, trust me), you found something to be fixed and know how to do it? then do fix it and open a PR with the solution, you found a workaround to some issues? Then open a PR with the solution or share it with others.
Looking at the oft-mentioned 2.3K issues on the MAUI repo, I think there's a pretty even split a given issue will be one of these: valid, duplicate, user error, feature request. Seriously, just scroll through the first couple of pages. Maybe they need to control that better, but it seems far from representative of "MAUI bugs".
