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.

WinUI Unpackaged --- What am I missing?
The reason why I don't recommend Winui is the million bugs it has. See the github issues page. All Microsoft ui stuff sucks currently. But if you use WPF why not FluentWPF

For the past year and a half I've been working on Wintoys, an app that let's you experience Windows in your way and keep it fresh everyday while having everything you need in one place
Development for WinAppSdk and WinUI 3 is also very slow and Microsoft seems to not want to push it and invest more developers into it for some reason. They try to improve the framework, is just it's a small team. For example it was a headacke to apply the Mica backgrop and required unmanaged code, they made it simpler and reduced it to a line of code but it took months. I have 2 out of 7 issues fixed on WinAppSdk repository and 0 out of 8 issues fixed in the WinUI 3 repository (some of the older than a year). This are just my issues, there are many other opened by other developers. So yeah, it wasn't fun at all. PoweshellSDK had an issue with the Import-Module command and it wasn't fixed for more than a year and probably won't be ever fixed, but I'm glad I found a workaround, even more clean and more safe, otherwise I couldn't have added the posibility to uninstall and change Store apps.

Depends on how WinUI / WinAppSDK folks manage.

The fps issue unfortunately seems to be currently a problem of the WinUI3 framework itself: Low frame rate · Issue #7373 · microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml (github.com)

Teaching myself Windows app development, here's five days of progress.
The WinUI 3 gallery has some keys that you can use, but I usually just use the search function on the WinUI repo (https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml). Usually, the xaml files with v1 in it's name is the newer, windows 11 styled version of that control, and the control should have some keys in it

Simple WinUI problem
Can developers wanting to learn WinUI expect any support from Microsoft?
Can't speak for others but you can checkout the discussion threads on https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/discussions. I'm fairly optimistic as MS has started using WinUI 3 already, e.g. Phone Link, and the latest File Explorer in the Dev channel. Note that you are going to see haters leaving "DoOMeD!!1!1" comments anyways.

.NET 8 – .NET Blog
It's a bit of a hit and miss as of today. CLI, back-end and natively compiled libraries (think dll/so/dylib or even .lib/.a - you can statically link NAOT binaries into other "unmanaged" code) work best, GUI - requires more work.
Avalonia[0] and MAUI[1] have known working templates with it, but YMMV.

What's New in Final RC for .NET 8, .NET MAUI, Asp.net Core and EF8
While this is the quite endorsed by the community: https://github.com/dotnet/maui/discussions/339
I think the fundamental issue is that desktop Linux is way too fragmented. Not only just GTK2/3 and Qt but you have GNOME, KDE, XFCE, Cinnamon and then you have X11, Xorg, Wayland...
To be honest, all those craps are why desktop Linux never took off. I'm very safe to say MAUI for Linux will eventually renders components off its own using framebuffer and hardware acceleration APIs such as OpenGL or Vulkan just because of the market fragmentations...
If desktop Linux truly wants to get the attention, it will need to unify. Fixing dependency hell using Flatpak is the right direction.
There is an existing old fork of MAUI for Linux that uses GTK: https://github.com/jsuarezruiz/maui-linux

I'm getting tired of these new waves of posts against Maui
But, if you really want to add some value, luckily, Maui is an open source platform, the code is right there, dig into it, and learn how it works under the hood (it will also help you to learn a lot, trust me), you found something to be fixed and know how to do it? then do fix it and open a PR with the solution, you found a workaround to some issues? Then open a PR with the solution or share it with others.
Looking at the oft-mentioned 2.3K issues on the MAUI repo, I think there's a pretty even split a given issue will be one of these: valid, duplicate, user error, feature request. Seriously, just scroll through the first couple of pages. Maybe they need to control that better, but it seems far from representative of "MAUI bugs".
