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.

Project on GitHub - Customizable Arch Linux Podman images based on the official Arch Linux Docker image
LightDM display manager (in general not needed, but may be used to spawn Xfce4 on hosts without desktop environment)
-
Show IP on Login Screen
You can see all available lightdm settings in lightdm.conf and lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf
-
Debian 11 bullseye best display manger
Does lightdm still run X as root? I haven't used lightdm for some time, but there's the open issue Support non-root X.
-
Thoroughly confused about monitor layout configuration
you can also copy the default conf contents here https://github.com/Canonical/lightdm/blob/main/data/lightdm.conf and paste it into a text file anywhere. then open a terminal in the same directory as that text file.
- archinstall installs sway & lightdm but reboots into the tty.

Start Qtile in Wayland with DM such as LightDM?
I have opened a bug report for lightdm: https://github.com/canonical/lightdm/issues/268 No answer from devs so far. So i believe it's still there.
- Multi-seat setup with lightdm
- Display manager LightDM 1.32.0 released

Are display managers inherently difficult pieces of software or am I just unlucky?
lightdm wishlist bug - https://github.com/canonical/lightdm/issues/18
- How do i customize LightDM?

Terminal Latency
It's opinionated, which comes with upsides and downsides. I won't blame the maintainer to keep things focused, feature creep (even for worthy features) can kill a FOSS project.
Another example is sixel support, there's a fork where it all works but is not sufficiently "proven" (code quality just as well as sixel being the best fit for the problem)
https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/pull/4763#issuecommen...
It may be annoying but I get the reasoning, and there are other terminals.

Neovide – a simple, no-nonsense, cross-platform GUI for Neovim
> Ligatures: ok, nice, possible in terms too (hopefully Alacritty one day)
I wouldn't hold my breath. Seems like its getting the iPad calculator treatment[0]. Which is to say rather than ship something working that can be improved, they're leaving a UX void.

I Just Wanted Emacs to Look Nice – Using 24-Bit Color in Terminals
IME, this is like the golden age of terminal apps in general and macOS-compatible ones in particular. There are several really good terminals for macOS:
[iTerm2 app](https://iterm2.com/)
[Kitty terminal](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/)
[WezTerm terminal](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/index.html)
[Alacritty](https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty)
My daily driver is WezTerm…
- Runs on Linux, macOS, Windows 10 and FreeBSD
- [Multiplex terminal panes, tabs and windows on local and remote hosts, with native mouse and scrollback](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/multiplexing.html)
- [Ligatures](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode#fira-code-monospaced-font...), Color Emoji and font fallback, with true color and [dynamic color schemes](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/config/appearance.html#colors).
- [Hyperlinks](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/hyperlinks.html)
- [Searchable Scrollback](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/scrollback.html) (use mouse wheel and `Shift-PageUp` and `Shift PageDown` to navigate, Ctrl-Shift-F to activate search mode)
- xterm style selection of text with mouse; paste selection via `Shift-Insert` (bracketed paste is supported!)
- SGR style mouse reporting (works in vim and tmux)
- Render underline, double-underline, italic, bold, strikethrough (most other terminal emulators do not support as many render attributes)
- Configuration via a [configuration file](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/config/files.html) with hot reloading
- Multiple Windows (Hotkey: `Super-N`)
- Splits/Panes (Split horizontally/vertically: `Ctrl-Shift-Alt-%` and `Ctrl-Shift-Alt-"`, move between panes: `Ctrl-Shift-ArrowKey`)
- Tabs (Hotkey: `Super-T`, next/prev: `Super-Shift-[` and `Super-Shift-]`, go-to: `Super-[1-9]`)
- [SSH client with native tabs](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/ssh.html)
- [Connect to serial ports for embedded/Arduino work](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/serial.html)
- Connect to a local multiplexer server over unix domain sockets
- Connect to a remote multiplexer using SSH or TLS over TCP/IP
- iTerm2 compatible image protocol support, and built-in [imgcat command](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/imgcat.html)
- Kitty graphics support
- Sixel graphics support (experimental: starting in `20200620-160318-e00b076c`)

The Linux graphics stack in a nutshell, part 2
if by 'in the terminal' you mean 'in a program emulating an ascii terminal' then no, because ascii terminals don't support anything that looks better than ascii art. they don't support sixel either. there are a variety of proposals for how to add graphics to ascii terminal emulators in a backwards-compatible way, such as mgr and notty https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/issues/51
but the 'terminal' that a terminal emulator is emulating is a device which provides a user access to a remote computer. normally nowadays this is a laptop or cellphone. in that case, yes, you can use x-windows, xpra, vnc, or a web browser

What GPU Accelerated terminal do you recommend for Linux
I have been having random input lags with Alacritty. Initially I thought it was my custom neovim config. After some investigation, I have found an Alacritty github issue where users are reporting the same issue: https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/issues/6844
