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.

Is there a way I can visualize all the function calls made while running the project(C++) in a graphical way?
As already mentioned, use valgrind setting massif as your tool and generate the massif.out file. Open this file with massif visualizer: https://github.com/KDE/massif-visualizer

Google/orbit – C/C++ Performance Profiler
i don't really think there is _anything_ that comes even close to tracy https://github.com/wolfpld/tracy.
on top of this, given google's penchant for dumping projects aka abandonware, this would be an easy pass.

Immediate Mode GUI Programming
The RemedyBG debugger (https://remedybg.handmade.network/) and the Tracy profiler (https://github.com/wolfpld/tracy) both use Dear ImGui and so far I've only read high praise from people who used those tools compared to the 'established' alternatives.
For tools like this, programmers are also just "normal users", and from the developer side, I'm sure they evaluated various alternatives with all their pros and cons before settling for Dear ImGui.

Tuning Linux for Performance
Not the person you asked, but generally you might want to look at "frame-based" profilers. These are typically used in video games, but the concept is general, and can apply to other applications. The "frame" could also be something like a request or transaction being processed. I like Tracy[1], myself.
Another latency metric that you'll see, often w/respect to web apps and microservices is "P99" and similar. This is the amount of time in which 99% of requests get their response. For a higher percentile, you get a better idea of worst-case performance.

What is your favourite profiling tool for C++?
I've not actually used Superluminal, but I use Tracy for similar reasons. It's free though (and, importantly, open source).

My first game engine
For profiling, you can check tracy.

I got my procedural city engine / game (built from scratch in c++) running on the steam deck - does it look too garish?
You could try Tracy

Sharing Saturday #462
There is no such thing as overengineering in fun projects, so I've also adopted Tracy as profiling solution. Works quite nice and gonna save me plenty of times in the future debugging performance spikes on badly optimized math heavy operations.

Debugging and profiling embedded applications.
I know about tools such as tracing, jaeger or tracy. While having a complete tracing could be a potential solution, these tools don't work with no_std.
What are some alternatives?
gperftools - Main gperftools repository
optick - C++ Profiler For Games
pprof - pprof is a tool for visualization and analysis of profiling data
orbit - C/C++ Performance Profiler
gprof2dot - Converts profiling output to a dot graph.
palanteer - Visual Python and C++ nanosecond profiler, logger, tests enabler
minitrace - Simple C/C++ library for producing JSON traces suitable for Chrome's built-in trace viewer (about:tracing).
Sourcetrail - Sourcetrail - free and open-source interactive source explorer
parallel-hashmap - A family of header-only, very fast and memory-friendly hashmap and btree containers.
STL - MSVC's implementation of the C++ Standard Library.
