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.

Transmission 4.0.0 (Beta 1) - Resource Efficiency & Code Modernization
Very nice feature that one. Its RPC allows for other interfaces for control, it's great.

Your dependency on external packages reduce with experience
It'll shrink if you only use it for programming, but if you start using it for file management, email, NNTP, music, torrenting, etc, then individual sections might shrink as your understanding grows and you refine them, but more will be added as new use-cases are covered.

Mastering Eshell, Emacs's Elisp Shell
For eshell and other commands yeah that works but that's the usual fallback, not a first-class Emacs UI like transmission.el (which doesn't require super-user shenanigans since its RPC supports authentication and can be reverse-forwarded with SSH).

Xfinity Stream Fully Blocks Linux, It's not a warning you actually can't access it even with a user agent switcher
It also has an Emacs control interface, which is nice.

Pkl, a Programming Language for Configuration
> So what we are missing now is a 500GB framework that can write the config file for the programming language that is writing a config file for the actual program I wish to use.
That exists since 1960. It's called LISP. The e.g. https://guix.gnu.org/ uses with great success, the Guile Scheme dialect of LISP, to be precise. And FYI the "framework" is:
$ ls --human-readable --size $(readlink $(which guile))

NixOS: Declarative Builds and Deployments
> inventing a brand new purely functional language programming language.
ISTM that if you dislike that, then there's GUIX.
https://guix.gnu.org/
Very briefly, AFAICT, it's "Nix but using Scheme".

Linux saved my life
And just wait till you discover Arch Linux, Gentoo, Guix, or NixOS.

The nicest web browser of 2023 uses Lisp.
https://guix.gnu.org for example. It did load before an update but it doesn't anymore.

Java community welcomes kotlin, c/c++ community welcome rust and go and Javascript community welcomes typscript except emacs community who still refuse to welcome gnu guile.
Is it? Seems to me it's used for some pretty cool stuff, heard of Guix?

Lua: The Little Language That Could
I think a "competitor" to Lua would be Guile [1], but I am not sure if it gets close to Lua in terms of lightweightness... it was designed to be used in the GNU project, with similar objects as Lua: to be light, easily embeddable. It's a Scheme (Lisp) so maybe not for everyone's taste... its "coolest" use i know of is for configuring Guix [2] (the GNU version of Nix).

What are some of the more innovative linux distributions?
GNU Guix! A fully functional package manager and distro heavily inspire by Nix. The primary difference between it and Nix being that it is almost entirely written and configured in GNU Guile, an implementation of Scheme (Lisp) and the official extension language of the GNU Project (originally intended to be for GNU what emacs lisp is for emacs).

Rust Offline?
You should perhaps utilize guix for your projects. It provides rather acceptable rust resp. crates support and in a perfectly reproducible build environment. But be aware, that it even tries to build even the rust compiler from source by going through all this nasty steps of its iterative bootstrap process. This can be a little bit complex and time-consuming, if you need an up-to-date version of rustc.
What are some alternatives?
nix - Nix, the purely functional package manager
t2sde - T2 SDE Linux
live-bootstrap - Use of a Linux initramfs to fully automate the bootstrapping process
ungoogled-chromium - Google Chromium, sans integration with Google
steam-runtime - A runtime environment for Steam applications
ublue - A familiar(ish) Ubuntu desktop for Fedora Silverblue.
flatpak - Linux application sandboxing and distribution framework

is-odd - I created this in 2014, the year I learned how to program. All of the downloads are from an old version of https://github.com/micromatch/micromatch. I've done a few other things since: https://github.com/jonschlinkert.
Proton - Compatibility tool for Steam Play based on Wine and additional components
bedrocklinux-userland - This tracks development for the things such as scripts and (defaults for) config files for Bedrock Linux
