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.

Beej's Quick Guide to GDB (2009)
There is also GEF, which is widely used by the reverse engineering and CTF community.
-
How do you use gdb without the tui? Are there advantages? Or just describe your GDB workflow.
If you are on Linux, install GEF and be happy.
- TF2 on Linux is running incredibly poorly, reporting 1200%+ CPU usage. Steam also appears to have some sort of memleak and infinite loop/callback going on leading to absurd CPU usage over time.
-
Any good and easy-to-use C debuggers?
If you are in linux, I recomend none of them (haha) because you should get more used to GDB a little bit. You just need to install some good visualizers likes GEF, for example.
- Emulating an emulator inside itself. Meet Blink

Are there any cpu emulators that could help me learn i386 assembly?
https://github.com/hugsy/gef, https://hugsy.github.io/gef/, https://hugsy.github.io/gef/commands/context/ ("Values in red indicate that this register has had its value changed since the last time execution stopped.")
- What plugins do you recommend for ExploitDev or RE and why?
- Awesome TUI tools
-
Fully Dockerized Linux kernel debugging environment
The attached debugger is not just raw GDB but is using https://hugsy.github.io/gef/ to make debugging less of a pain. It's still not perfect but helps plenty already.

Debugging with GDB
I still struggle with GDB but my excuse is that I seldom use it.
When I was studying reverse engineering though, I came across a really cool kit (which I've yet to find an alternative for lldb, which would be nice given: rust)
I'd recommend checking it out, if for no other reason than it makes a lot of things really obvious (like watching what value lives in which register).
LLDB's closest alternative to this is called Venom, but it's not the same at all. https://github.com/ovh/venom

Debugging with GDB
Try GDB Dashboard, it makes gdb much easier to use:
