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.

GNU Parallel – shell tool for executing jobs in parallel, one or more computers
> Anyway, those three are just off the top of my head, unfairness-wise. Last I looked at the source for GNU parallel it looked like mountains upon mountains of Perl I would rather not depend upon, personally, but to each his own.
Well, there was a Rust version with zero Perl, now unfortunately archived. It wasn't 100% on a par with the original and wasn't really finished. On the other hand, built easily for Windows and helped me on a few occasions.

What is a FOSS which is needed but doesn't exist yet/needs contributers?
I would love a rust implemention of gnu parallel (with better license). There was https://github.com/mmstick/parallel , but the author stopped development.

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)

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
