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 few highlights from my two years' worth of experiments with used ThinkPads
This is how I do it, and I get maximum control over the installation.

I'm confused.
I have a very similar setup, but I use my custom wrapper over startx. Nothing fancy though: https://github.com/myTerminal/dotfiles/blob/master/.scripts/linux/mt-desktop-mode

What does Arch have that Void doesn't? (Sorry, please don't kill me)
I've used Arch for a while before switching to Debian and then Void. I still install my system using chroot (I did debootstrap for Debian too), so I did read the Wikis (and still do) and keep looking to install other distros the "Arch way".

I just want to execute apps without memorizing sentences...
I've been using this and this and I don't really care anymore.

Would you consider anything apart from Bash for configuration/setup scripts?
Getting to know Linux better from my initial days with beginner-friendly distributions to stepping into the manual installation of Arch (pacstrap), Debian (debootstrap), and Void (xbps) has taught me a lot more of Bash than I would have expected from myself. I now also maintain my personalized setup scripts along with my dotfiles. Furthermore, I also created twiner as a re-usable tool (that tries to be a lot of things at the same time), which "sort of" helped me deepen my understanding of Bash a little bit more.

Left to right: ThinkPad T470 (temporary machine), ThinkPad T61p (experimental machine), Dell Precision T3600 (secondary machine), and ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3 (primary machine), all running Void Linux
I start from here and then it takes me to this, eventually to i3wm.

What's the general purpose behind dotfiles management software?
I've been maintaining my own dotfiles on GitHub for over seven years now (and probably have also overdone it at some point of time) and though I've had some small challenges to use them across machines, I've never experienced something as big that I'll need a third-party "dotfiles management" tool to take care of that for me. I sync it through my GitHub account and pull updates regularly. Fun fact: I've also been able to use the same one across macOS, Linux, and even Windows at work!

How I automated my workstation setup
All that we need for this step resides under here and fortunately, with all the scripts arranged as an independent Bash program, we'll only be running a single command and the scripts will take care of the rest for us.
-
What my workstation setup is to me
At one point, I eventually started maintaining a single bash file in my GitHub dotfiles with the command and so there was no need to maintain spreadsheets anymore. This arrangement also allowed me to document the commands required to configure additional package sources and remained as a single file for quite a long time until one day it all of a sudden exploded into multiple smaller files each for its own purpose.

Is there a problem with the latest `nvidia` release?
My setup is pretty-much automated as you can see here. I also have been keeping a separate partition for my home for years now, most of the data within being synced via Syncthing on several devices, and then I use pCloud for super-huge files. With BTRFS, the home now remains in the same partition as a dedicated sub-volume and I'm liking it till now.

A Love Letter to Intellectualism
gnu.org - contains everything you need to research his philosophy.
stallman.org - personal website, contains a lot of opinion, but I absolutely respect this man in all what he says.
emacs.org (redirects to https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/) - his non-philosophical work, one of two mainstream console text editors.

The KGB, the Computer and Me – The Cuckoo's Egg Story [video]
Forever, there was a file included in stock Emacs, `spook.el`, which could be hooked up to automatically add random strings of "interesting" keywords to each of your email or Usenet messages (in signatures, or in headers like `X-Spook`).
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Ma...
Looks like copyright date of 1988:
https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/blob/master/lisp/play/...
https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/blob/master/etc/spook....
Try `M-x spook RET` in an Emacs buffer.

How to combine daily journal with general database of people, places, things, etc.
If you want to spare a couple of detours, you probably could start with Emacs Org-mode according to Greenspun's eleventh rule: "Any sufficiently complicated PIM or note-taking program contains an ad hoc, informally specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Org mode."

Using Common Lisp in Emacs
The whole cl-lib thing is a total disaster:
https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/blob/master/lisp/emacs...
They added cl- as a prefix to each Common Lisp symbol.
FIRST is now called cl-first, CAAAR is now cl-caaar .
I would really prefer if GNU Emacs removes all Common Lisp functionality, instead of creating this really wacky stuff, with discussions about this topic every year.

GNU Emacs is a versatile, open-source text editor that offers extensibility and customization—a sort of self-documenting real-time display editor. Our thanks for the suggestion go to CartanAnnullator.

Proof of Concept clang plugin that automatically binds C/C++ -> Lua
Their DEFUN and DEFVAR macros for example let us define a function or a variable that will be available as a Lisp function, and can be used as an ordinary C function from the C code. Emacs is written in pure C99 language and works with both GCC and Clang I believe. We can just define a C function via macro, and it is auto exported and made available to Lisp. For example my first patch to Emacs was for this function (we added "count" argument to make it possible to skip enumerating files in a directory for the case when user code is just interesting if a directory is empty or not):
