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.

NixOS Reproducible Builds: minimal ISO successfully independently rebuilt
Ansible makes mutable changes to the OS, task by task.
Nix is immutable. A new change is made entirely new, and only after the build is successful, all packages are "symlinked" to the current system.
Fedora Silverblue is based on ostree [1]. It works similarly like git, but on your root tree. But it requires you to reboot the whole system for the changes to take effect. Since Nix is just symlinked packages, you don't need to reboot the system.
More detailed explanation here [2].

- Can't install from flathub
- hello guys everytime i intall a flatpak on fedora this error always happnes how do i fix it
-
PSA: Flatpaks are currently broken on Fedora. Here's a temporary solution.
This one is for the ostree bug currently ongoing: https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/issues/2900

flatpak issue on fedora 38 kde
This sounds related to the ostree bug.
- ostree-system-generator failed with exit status 1 on every boot after update.
-
What do you prefer more and why?
I definitely agree that immutability offers considerable value in regards to improving security. But arguably it's insufficient to pull the win over mutable Fedora due to the losses caused by the inability to install the kernel-hardened package and the lack of UKI (Unified Kernel Image) support.
-
Question about immutability
Other hardening guides mention a Unified Kernel Image as another measure to further improve security. Unfortunately, once more, this is (currently) not supported on Fedora Silverblue. I haven't seen it being done on openSUSE Aeon either. Though, once again, I'd love to be corrected!
-
Does an immutable system really provide enhanced security?
The fedora crew is working on it through ostree though, so both fedora Silverblue and flatpak will be getting it (as well as true immutability) in the future: https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/issues/2867
-
Silverblue/ Kinoite - real-life shortcomings?
Aside from what has already been mentioned, Unified Kernel Image isn't supported (yet).
