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.

Ghost Kernel
https://ghostkernel.org/about
>"Ghost is a hobby operating system for the Intel x86 platform. The project is licensed as GPLv3. It was started as a research project to learn more about low-level software programming and computer internals. The sources are available on GitHub (https://github.com/maxdev1/ghost).
Features
The kernel and the userspace applications are written from scratch in C++ and Assembly (and some C). It is not based on any existing kernel.
There is a POSIX.1 compatibility layer to simplify porting some software to the system.
o Micro-kernel
o Symmetric multi-processing
o Patched GCC (OS specific toolchain)
o IPC (pipes, signals, messages, shared memory)
o ELF executable & shared library support
o libc, self-made
o libghostapi, kernel API library
o libghostuser, simplified file I/O, creating UIs etc.
o libstdc++ port
o VESA video driver
o Window server (GUI with homemade toolkit)
o PS/2 keyboard & mouse driver
o Userspace filesystem driver support
o Serial COM1 debug interface
o Virtual 8086 for BIOS calls
o Copy-on-write implementation, fork()

Announcing: PonyOS 8
In case it's not clear, PonyOS is a joke reskin of my serious OS project, ToaruOS. PonyOS gets a new release every April 1st. All of the libraries and applications in ToaruOS are in-house things I built myself - the whole OS is "built from scratch". PonyOS adds ponysay, which is an external app originally written in Python - and in previous releases of PonyOS I shipped the Python version alongside a port of Python 3.6. This release, though, comes with a port to my own language, Kuroko, which is a dialect of Python - a lot of what went into building the PonyOS release this year was getting ponysay to work well.

Interesting variables
There is no correct way to use inline assembly here. You need a stub written in assembly that will save those registers to the stack and pass a pointer to a handler written in C. You may also want to define a struct that matches the stack layout to make it easier to access the stack contents. This is not my code. If you want to use this code in your OS, you must follow the license requirements.

Seriously, WHY?
Here's a good example, although it's 64-bit instead of 32-bit.
