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.

Do you guys have installed codec trough zypper or opi?
This is incorrect. It also installs a set list of packages.
-
Seriously, what is the special magic sauce that openSUSE has for KDE?
Have you looked into OPI? This allows you to easily search and install community packages from the Open Build System similarly to how it is with working with yay on Arch. It very likely does not contain things like git packages or fonts but it can be pretty useful for packages like ckb-next and since it pulls from the OBS it is always guaranteed to be a binary, no compilation necessary

Installing CODECs
As of this writing, opi performs the following operations behind the curtains (see here for reference):
- New install, codec issues
-
Firefox does not play all videos or live streams on fresh Tumbleweed
opi will implement a workaround in https://github.com/openSUSE/opi/pull/120 which will force the ffmpeg version on tumbleweed to be >=5.

As a noob to openSUSE but as an arch user (~1yr), what are some things I should know about openSUSE?
OPI is your friend. You don't have to update every day...once a week or so is fine. Set up multiversion for kernels. A lot of times if a vendor offers a Fedora RPM and not openSUSE, the Fedora RPM will work fine. If you are using Nvidia, wait to update kernels... that's all I can think of. Use and update the wiki as needed, it's a good resource, but can get outdated.

Following Fedora and openSUSE, Manjaro moves further away from Arch Linux by not enabling Mesa's patent-loaded codecs
Yeah I'm pretty sure it's using Packman https://github.com/openSUSE/opi

[Help] issue with Firefox after fresh install.
OPI is also useful for finding other packages that aren't in the regular repos
-
Should I try moving to OpenSUSE?
The easiest way to install software is with OPI, you can also search with Zypper or YaST. Generally, if you can find an RPM file built for Fedora, you can install it on Tumbleweed as well - I'm sure there are exceptions.

nvidia-vaapi-driver question for the System76 team
For anyone wondering, I got hardware acceleration working (NVIDIA 1660 Super: h264, vp8, vp9, don't know why I can't get HEVC support currently) using the nvidia-driver-545 using the steps from nvidia-vaapi-driver to build from source (version: 0.0.11)
- nvidia-vaapi-driver v0.0.11 released

Windows 11 has made the “clean Windows install” an oxymoron
I don't think it's your fault and I don't think you're using the wrong browser.
> I should be working out the dependency story and compiling some driver from Github myself.
no, nvidia _should_ make it easier for people using the 3rd most popular desktop OS to use their hardware. It would make them more competitive against AMD and Intel, which both support hardware video decoding.
That's probably not going to happen, so the next best option is to install a package from the package manager [0]. There might be some kind of compilation needed, but in my experience that's rarely an issue (aside from time), especially if it's coming out of the package manager for a popular distribution.
> It's just not a real option for maybe 99% of PC users.
well, 99% of PC users with Nvidia hardware. It's an important distinction since this problem is specific to Nvidia. If the solution is to installing a package from the package manager, it's only as difficult as installing the browser in the first place.
I do agree there's some extra questions that may make things difficult, or unfamiliar for the vast majority of people, though. Like how is someone supposed to know they need the nvidia-vaapi-driver package anyway?

Ubuntu is slower than windows and it is really hard to use hardware acceleration
to be honest, pop os solved most of my problems except the hardware acceleration problem which seems like an issue with Nvidia. I am planning to try this soon. https://github.com/elFarto/nvidia-vaapi-driver/ as mentioned in the comments

Harwdware decoding is broken with latest Nvidia proprietary drivers (v535)
RpmFusion only has v0.0.9 of nvidia-vaapi-driver although release v0.0.10 adds support for Nvidia drivers v535. https://github.com/elFarto/nvidia-vaapi-driver/releases/tag/v0.0.10

DEAR UBUNTU…
I do have one machine with the Firefox PPA rather than the snap, and that's because I've got an NVIDIA card in it and want to use an experimental library.
-
Video playback lagging in everything but VLC
Note that as an nvidia gpu owner you need to do some extra backflips to make firefox use hardware decoding such as installing a custom vaapi-to-nvdec translation driver: https://github.com/elFarto/nvidia-vaapi-driver

Friend: What do I need to know if I want to try Linux? Me:
General VDPAU vs VA-API video acceleration pains. Needing a community driver for imperfect VA-API support, that nvidia updates have broken multiple times.
