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.

How versatile did the Apple Silicon chips have become now that they are getting ready to present the M3 later this year?
There's virtually no unsolved issue. If you need something x86 is you use rosetta. If you're using terraform and a provider hasn't issued an ARM release you can use the m1 provider helper.

How to pratice
There really isn't any substitute for production experience. Yes you can learn the basics, and the universals are transferable, but you're never going to come across e.g. something like needing this in a homelab, still less the real reasons why you need it...

Install terraform-providers/mysql provider on Apple Sillicon
Try this. https://github.com/kreuzwerker/m1-terraform-provider-helper

Asdf – the language tool version manager
tfswitch might help with particular issue of terraform versioning:
https://tfswitch.warrensbox.com/
Even then some versions of terraform providers are not compatible with M1 macs. Docker would help with that probably, but so can: https://github.com/kreuzwerker/m1-terraform-provider-helper
Perhaps these sort of issues support the benefits of per-module docker images?
-
Recommendation on CI/CD pipeline that includes M1 Macs?
Check to see if your provider has an M1 compiled version https://github.com/kreuzwerker/m1-terraform-provider-helper/blob/main/docs/provider_information.md
-
Use m1-terraform-provider-helper to compile Terraform providers for Mac M1 chips
The general availability of darwin_arm64 Terraform providers. There are often cases where the maintainers did not release a darwin_arm64 version yet. Only roughly a fourth of all providers have a darwin_arm64 version released (see here for details)

How I ended up using Colima for Docker on Apple Silicon
While looking into the issue with Podman, I came across colima. Apart from being able to run AMD64 images out of the box, there were additional benefits to it, one of which was, unlike podman, colima could use Rosetta 2 for x64 emulation (which is significantly more performant).

Damn Small Linux 2024
You might look into CoLima as a way to get started.
https://github.com/abiosoft/colima?tab=readme-ov-file
Its user interface is Docker-like, using containers.
For full desktop, I've only used the commercial app "Parallels", which can set up an Ubuntu desktop for you. Also Fedora and Alpine and Debian I believe.
But
> I don't really have any resources to share. I just know how to boot a vmlinuz with an initramfs using QEMU, and decided to download the Linux kernel source code and try compiling it.
I highly recommend working through Linux from Scratch and possibly the Gentoo Handbook. It's a journey.

Howto: WASM runtimes in Docker / Colima
I could not find any guide how to add WASM container capability to Docker running on Colima. This guide provides a few Colima templates for exactly this, which adds WasmEdge, Wasmtime and Wasmer runtime types.

Podman Desktop v1.5 with Compose onboarding and enhanced Kubernetes pod data
After docker desktop became unusable, I jumped to colima and never looked back. I still use the docker runtime in it (the non-proprietary part) but it also supports containerd. On Mac it's just a "brew install colima" and then "colima start"
I also install the compose and ecr credentials plug-ins (since I use ecr for my container registry.) It has the full functionality of docker desktop minus the UI, which I never used anyways.

K3s – Lightweight Kubernetes
On my M1 Pro system, I have nothing but positive things to say about the experience of using Colima (https://github.com/abiosoft/colima). Quick to set up and fast to use.

UTM – Virtual Machines for iOS and macOS
I'd say Lima and Colima should be enough for most use cases:

The bash/zsh equivalent wouldn't be too hard, but I use fish.

[3] I’m on OrbStack now, but it isn’t so much better at how I use Docker than Colima is that I think that it’s an instant buy, especially with the planned subscription model. If I used anything other than the Docker integration, I might think it's better, but as of right now, no.
I also have some issues with its insistence on asking for elevated permissions. I will never grant permission[4] to make a symlink to the "standard" Docker socket; context and `$DOCKER_HOST` work well enough. It should not ask if the permission hasn't been given once. I also worry about other "advanced" features that may need an elevated permissions helper[5].
