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.

From xz to ibus: more questionable tarballs
We started off doing this, but you end up with enormous diffs which are themselves confusing. Example, only about 5% of this change is non-generated:

Microsoft: Windows 10 22H2 is the final version of Windows 10
And inside the registry. The apparently correct way to distinguish them is using the build ID:

QEMU Version 6.0.0 Released
There's a lot of useful command-line tooling for KVM and QEMU-based virt. Here's a small selection of useful tools:
• virsh — This[1] is libvirt's shell interface; and gives you access to the rich set of libvirt APIs.
• virt-builder — Use this for rapidly building minimal or customized virtual machines; it's greatly flexible; check out its man page[2]. And here's[3] a quick example that connects both virt-builder and virsh together.
• virt-install — Use this if you don't like the default build of the template images from virt-builder; it lets you create "headless" servers via 'kickstart' and Linux OS trees from the command-line.
• guestfish and libguestfs suite[4] — This rich set of tools help you in a variety of use-cases: repairing your broken disk images, editing, cloning, debugging disk images, and more. It has saved my behind a lot of times.
• qemu-img[5] – This Swiss Army knife lets you powerfully manipulate disk images (QCOW2, raw, et al) offline. Example operations include: create images, backing chains, offline snapshots, disk image merging, and convert disk images from one format to another, and more.

How to use Python libraries effectively when they aren't in PyPI?
That's a good point. As long as the project has a setup.py or pyproject.toml available, it can usually be installed from the repo. For libguestfs it looks like they do some pre-processing on their setup.py so that wouldn't work, it's lucky that they had this alternative set up already. :)

Probably the Simplest Way to Install Debian/Ubuntu in QEMU
Nah, this virt-install preseed script is faster, or even just run virt-builder debian-10 and they're both libvirt not hacky qemu scripts

Is it impossible to upgrade from 15.1 to 16.3?
If you have TrollStore then install the HV version of UTM to try for yourself: https://github.com/utmapp/UTM/releases/latest/download/UTM.HV.ipa

Exploring Windows XP on macOS ARM64
Researching a little showed that this is basically what can be expected running x86 emulation and the systems will just be wonky and slow, although it was running flawlessly, just slow.
There seem to be ways to use Rosetta2 inside a VM [0] to then translate binaries but I found no official support or documentation (using UTM+QEMU that was), this would be such a cool feature, at least there are discussions about it [1,2]

UTM for Developers
UTM makes it easy to set up and manage macOS and Windows virtual machines. This can be especially useful for developers such as Tauri contributors who need to test their applications across multiple platforms, or for those looking to experiment with different operating systems without affecting their primary system.

What is the best way to run Windows 10 or 11 (whatever is better) on a 2020 MacBook Air M1?
If you don't need high performance and want to use the OS only occasionally, check UTM.app, at https://mac.getutm.app/ (or https://github.com/utmapp/UTM ). Free, open source.
