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.

I Didn’t Learn Unix By Reading All The Manpages
i agree with this piece, as someone who likes man pages to the extent of having ported significant amounts of the s6-ecosystem docs to mdoc(7), and as someone who has also written a number of guides.
-
Compiled kernel vs pre compiled kernel?
And the -bin kernel can be used to easily get many of the settings you'll need when you build your own kernel.
-
Is there anyway to extract the first page of an epub as image so I can use it in lf previewer
Gah, didn't even consider that the OP might have meant the cover image! Probably at least partly because i know that EPUBs don't necessarily need a cover image - i learnt this as a result of learning how to create a minimal EPUB. (And i actually have many EPUBs without a cover image.)
-
I really want to use Gentoo but I'm tired of the compiling
The point is to be able to customise where you want/need to, and to not have to when you don't. The -bin packages for FireFox, LibreOffice and Zig meet my needs, so i use them. i used the -bin package for the kernel to help me create a minimal kernel for my hardware, because messing around with kernel configuration is not my idea of a good time. But more generally, compiling allows me to specify things like: "i want packages compiled with USB and PCRE support where available, but i don't want them compiled with GNOME support."
-
Is it all about tuning?
Even though D-Bus is probably most often encountered by people in the context of GUI sessions, it's not specific to that; it can be (and is) used outside of such contexts. The widespread misunderstandings i've encountered about D-Bus over the years led me to write a short guide, "D-Bus: the essentials".
-
Freedesktop Notification Error!
(Some related background you might find helpful: a guide i wrote about D-Bus and X sessions).
-
Trouble creating OpenRC kernel from gentoo-sources
But more generally, you might find it helpful to refer to this guide i wrote on creating a minimal Gentoo-patched kernel via gentoo-kernel-bin (which can then be regularly updated just like any other Gentoo package).
-
Gonna switch to Gentoo
Take advantage of savedconfig where appropriate, e.g. for kernel builds. In particular, this can be used to easily create a minimal kernel for your hardware.
-
How to I get sound on Gentoo. I thought I installed the right sound card in my Kernel, but its not working
(Further to this, you might be interested in my guide to creating a minimal kernel for your hardware.)
-
The square root symbol looks incomplete, with the extension hanging outside
[a] i've actually written a quickstart guide to writing man pages with mdoc(7), to try to encourage others to use the semantics-oriented mdoc(7) macros for man pages, rather than the presentation-oriented man(7) macros.

- What are some lesser known features of Portage that you use daily?
-
Clang kernel + nVidia
Works for me, clang LTO kernel with clangged out Nvidia modules https://github.com/mrturcot/Gentoo-Stuff/tree/master/filthy-kernel/GL552VW
-
TIFU by not disabling an option in Windows that seemingly made my PC stutter for the last 3 years
Gentoo is not like that and honestly its easy (once you get it) making you own kernel and all its not that hard frfr here is my git hub https://github.com/mrturcot/Gentoo-Stuff
-
hardened clang environment
My setup here https://github.com/mrturcot/Gentoo-Stuff/blob/master/portage/env/compiler-clang/hardened

Trying to emerge chromium yields this kinda cryptic error...
Here is an example of my portage dir (env & package.env) so you kinda know what to do. https://github.com/mrturcot/Gentoo-Stuff/tree/master/portage

I'm installing Gentoo
You have a bootable kernel with the bin. So if you compile a broken kernel boot back into the bin kernel. Tweak the config. Rebuild, reboot. Rinse and repeat until you have a clean custom kernel. Here is my kernel config for ryzen 2700 and Rx 590 for example https://github.com/mrturcot/Gentoo-Stuff/tree/master/filthy-kernel
-
Is there anything similar to Arch's aconfmgr for Gentoo? A program that can track, manage and restore your Gentoo configuration?
Yeah or just do it yourself https://github.com/mrturcot/Gentoo-Stuff/tree/master/portage
- I did a Gentoo thing

After a 3 day gauntlet I've ascended to Gentoo. 986 source packages total. The only ones I added were kitty, mpv, qbittorrent & ungoogled-chromium. My app drawer is those 4 with settings app lol. I imagine this is what climbing Mount Everest feels like...
Anyway here is my GitHub I got my Gentoo stuff on there check it out if you want https://github.com/mrturcot/Gentoo-Stuff
