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.

Xbox Multiplayer Analysis Tool
Just a friendly reminder that UWP is deprecated as Windows programming model, C++/WinRT is stuck in C++17, in maintenance mode only taking bug fixes, and XBox has moved into Game Development Kit as official replacement for anyone that eventually would like to convert their indie efforts into a commercial game.
> Using Win32 + GDK is the primary, supported app model to build games for Xbox console, Xbox Game Pass (both Xbox and PC), and Xbox Game Streaming*
> Key Feature is that only Win32 + GDK fully supports all Microsoft Gameplay Services (Xbox Live identity, multiplayer, chat, leaderboards, achievements, commerce, etc.), and is required for Xbox Game Pass(1) on both console and PC
> For developers building Win32 games on PC today, Win32 + GDK builds on the Win32 C/C++ programming models to unify development across Xbox consoles and Windows PCs with the Microsoft Game Development Kit
> UWP apps and games are community-supported only; partners inside Xbox managed programs (Xbox, Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Game Streaming) should use Microsoft Win32 + GDK.

Ah damn, seems you're right.
From the GDK GitHub (https://github.com/microsoft/gdk):
> How do I run a GDK game built for the Xbox App on Windows 10 or Xbox Game Pass for PC on Xbox Consoles?
> Xbox console development requires the “Microsoft Game Development Kit with Xbox Extensions (GDKX)”. Games will need to retarget and rebuild for Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S with the GDKX installed.
> You need to download, install, and retarget your project for Xbox consoles using the GDKX
> The GDKX is currently only available under confidential license within an NDA Xbox program (e.g. ID@Xbox).
Sorry for giving you false hope!

Official console development related questions should not be asked here!
We publish the Game Development Kit for free on GitHub (see https://github.com/microsoft/GDK) and the non-NDA documentation lives here https://aka.ms/gamedevdocs

What do you think should be or is going to be added on the next generation Xbox Controller?
plus, Fortnite being a major big boy game to has Gyro Aiming support on major Consoles but Xbox. Now that most of GameInput API is out to the public, I wonder how that'd goes?
- Microsoft is adding keyboard and mouse support to XCloud soon. Devs encouraged to add support to it.
- Still amazed of how good Stadia works when compared to the competition.
- [Phil Spencer] Had good calls this week with leaders at Sony. I confirmed our intent to honor all existing agreements upon acquisition of Activision Blizzard and our desire to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation. Sony is an important part of our industry, and we value our relationship.
- What are you Playing on xCloud?
- So, "Xbox App" timed exlusives are definitely a thing now huh.

The Linux graphics stack in a nutshell, part 1
I think your information is quite outdated. The HWC overlay planes are heavily used, you can see this trivially just doing a 'dumpsys SurfaceFlinger' or grabbing a systrace/perfetto trace. When it falls back to GPU composition it's very obvious as there's a significant hit to latency and more GPU contention.
The overlay capabilities of the modern Snapdragons are also quite absurd. They support like upwards of a dozen overlays now and even have FP16 extended sRGB support. Some HWCs (like the one in the steam deck) even have per plane 3D LUTs for HDR tone mapping (ex https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope/blob/master/src/d... )
The composition is bandwidth heavy of course, but for static scenes there's a cache after the HWC in the form of panel self refresh.

Firefox Is Going to Try and Ship with Wayland Enabled by Default
One of the unfortunate things about Wayland is every compositor will have its own quality of implementation affecting things like latency.
With XOrg, especially in the pre-compositing days, you could choose whatever WM you want and it wouldn't have any impact on the rendering performance of X clients. Once the Composite extension was added and everyone started running composited X desktops, that started to change, and the increased latency already started appearing - in an arguably worse architecture than Wayland because there were often three processes involved with lots of IPC per draw: X-Client->X-Server->X-Compositor->X-Server->CRTC. At least in Wayland it's more like Wayland-Client->Wayland-Compositor->CRTC.
If you're unhappy with the rendering latency of your Wayland sessions, it may be worth trying alternative compositors... they likely vary significantly. The Valve/Steam folks have made a minimal one specifically optimized for games/low-latency [0]. I doubt the SteamDeck would be seeing as much success as it is if Wayland were so problematic in this department.

Help needed to confirm two 3.5 bugs
While streaming from the Deck to another device (phone with Steam Link app or another PC running steam), taking a screenshot on the Deck (hold the steam or ... button, and press R1) crashes the session (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope/issues/961). This one also impacts Decky Recorder. If you're recording the screen or have replay mode on and take a screenshot, you'll have a crash.
- I haven't seen much posted about it here, so I wanted to point out Valve's gamescope micro-compositor (Linux Gaming)

FYI on video corruption in cmd and terminal windows
Hey folks. I've got a 11900H motherboard and use the iGPU and stock Intel graphics drivers that I keep current. Even at baseline (so without overclocking of any kind, with good Corsair memory sticks configured without XMP and regardless of voltage), I would be able to use Windows 11 and the CMD or Terminal programs without issue but after some time they would be corrupt and unreadable. The fix was in Terminal, go into Settings, then Render, and turn on Software Rendering. I hope this helps someone else. FYI the corruption was very much like other Intel UHD graphics samples reported in this link: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope/issues/356
