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.

A simple guide for configuring sudo and doas
persist : don't prompt the user to type the password again after some time (potentially unsafe)

xorg sucks, use swc
Other: doas (opendoas package on void) in place of sudo, 9front or plan9 and factotum in place of Linux and PAM.

A simple guide for configuring sudo and doas
Aditionally,because doas was developed for OpenBSD,it also retains some of its quirks,like how user-installed executables are stored in /usr/local/bin,in contrast to /usr/bin where Linux stores them. As a result,doas can have problems on Linux so the following workaround can be used:

The First Stable Release of a Rust-Rewrite Sudo Implementation
https://github.com/Duncaen/OpenDoas/issues/106
That's a pretty severe unsolved security issue.

Testing the memory safe Rust implementation of Sudo/Su
If you want to move away from Sudo, but don't want to try this rust implementation just yet, I have had great success with OpenBSD's doas. It has been ported to every Linux distro I know of as well:

Doas Mastery (2019)
There are, at both ends. Both the "script kiddies" who cannot deviate from scripts because they lack almost any knowledge at all; and the knowledgeable ones who know that there are subtle differences between sudo and doas which require doing things slightly differently to achieve the same effect.

Help me on gentoo
Doas makes more in openbsd world In linux there are many api that need to be changed for porting, i'm no expert but the port might be flawed as not many developers has checked the codebase And how can you explain this vulnerability https://github.com/Duncaen/OpenDoas/issues/106

Linux users who are paranoid about security.... what's your opinion about OpenBSD?
Personally I'd prefer running Qubes OS, if only my device would have been more powerful. Currently I'm on Fedora Silverblue as I believe it provides a decent middle-ground in which I'm more secure than almost any other Linux distro while not losing any (meaningful) functionality. I do make use of doas and other technologies inspired from OpenBSD to further enhance the security.

Sudo and Su Being Rewritten in Rust for Memory Safety
Why not port https://github.com/Duncaen/OpenDoas to rust instead?
If the goal is security, then there is more to it than just using a memory safe language. Otherwise the result of this, possibly unwittingly, seems performative.
- Bringing Memory Safety to sudo and su
- Using doas instead of sudo on Debian 11
