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.

Raspberry Pi 5 vs. Intel N100 mini PC comparison
powertop is just relaying whatever value my laptop's battery is reporting for consumption, read from sysfs[0]. Are you suggesting my laptop's battery is merely estimating current and/or voltage? I don't know much about the hardware in my laptop's battery, and I'm not succeeding in finding information online, but I'm going to need a source to believe that considering how trivial it would be for the battery to report real values for current and voltage.

Power State management best practices?
If you're certain your GPU has deeper power saving states than P8, I would start by checking why it's not using them. Maybe tlp, powertop or nvtop (or their documentation) can help.

Tool to monitor phone battery?
The only Linux tool for this I've even heard of is powertop , which OP mentioned, but it looks nontrivial to build (kernel patches are mentioned).

ARM64 Linux Workstation
It just got added in 2023, but there's now --auto-tune-dump which generates a command line invocation of powertop that would set all the auto-tune settings. Instead of running --auto-tune, you can make a script of this dump, modify it to your contentment, and run the script instead of auto-tune at startup.
Ideally there would also be a way to omit certain tunings from auto-tune as well, but

Moving from BSPWM to DWM and have questions
Would running auto-cpufreq and powertop be a better combination to avoid installing XFCE4 dependencies? I don't play a lot of games or do a ton of compiling, but when I need to, I would like to be able to get as much out of the hardware as I can.
- How does powertop determine which components/programs consume and how much?

Powertop constantly resetting
Recommend looking for an open bug report here for the same issue, and if nobody else has opened one you can file one yourself to get support/get the issue fixed in a patch.

Conserving battery on company managed Linux Distro
`powertop --auto-tune` can set some settings to "good", but it may in fact be counterproductive, e.g. setting USB to autosuspend that suspends a mouse that shouldn't be, etc. See here for more info. In my experience/research, it doesn't really do much.

What do you do to maximize battery life on your laptop?
For me it wasn't efficient by default. I use powertop and auto-cpufreq

Ask HN: Interesting TUIs (text user interfaces), maybe forgotten ones?
Some alternatives:
* `vifm` file manager, more powerful and performant than ranger, for those who lean towards vim keybindings: https://vifm.info/
* `btop` process monitor, for those who like eye candy: https://github.com/aristocratos/btop

Text UIs != Terminal UIs
I mean mainly things like this:
https://github.com/aristocratos/btop/blob/main/Img/alt.png
Great work, it looks amazing! But what's the point of going through all the pain of rendering graphs in text? At that point, give me an actual graph. The code will be less messy and the information display will be better.

Command line tools I always install on Ubuntu servers
Btop is even more advanced than htop. It is almost like a GUI in terminal, and it feels like a dashboard of an airplane. I like it, but when I want to see what processes are using most of my resources, it is usually htop that comes to my mind and not btop, since btop shows more by default than I usually want. For more information see https://github.com/aristocratos/btop.

What's the appeal of the TUI programs?
btop blows me away every time I use it.

Harlequin.sh DuckDB IDE for your terminal
I love this and will definitely try it out! Although I admit I'm a little puzzled when people simultaneously want to do a TUI but also design things so there is generous (excessive, actually) whitespace around everything to create the illusion of "minimalism" or "comfort".
It's a TUI! It should be buzzing with numbers, packed with information, sparing with space and using every pixel possible. btop[1] is a great example imo — one of the best.

Wifi Adapter not working
I am using Arco Linux (Arch Based) and today my machine was working as normal, but then I lost Wifi connection. I had btop opened in another monitor and when o lost connection, it crashed. Don't know what it means. This has happened before, but before I would just restart and everything would work fine again, but now, the OS doesn't show me anything Wifi related. When it happens,restarting shows are logs that normaly don't appear (can't show them here because they are now showing up anymore) and it takes a long time to restart, if it even restarts, sometimes I have to press down the power button (it's that bad). My mother is TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS WIFI, the Wifi adapter is the one that comes with the motherboard. I am on the Linux kernel 6.4.2 (I think), I updated the system this morning. On Windows (where I am writing this from), I don't have this problem.
