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.

Could you theoretically use other package managers on void?
A lot, it's (also) a complete linux distribution. See https://guix.gnu.org/en/packages/ and for comparison with other distros: https://repology.org/ It looks like they entered the top ten since last time I checked.

what OS do YOU use, as an emacs user?
I'm having a hard time believing it, but apparently nixpkgs is larger than AUR per https://repology.org/?
- Common denominator when developing widgets

How to deploy my FOSS to Linux users / repositories?
Generally, the easiest thing to do is to do nothing - if your software is useful and people are using it, then packagers will show up. You can track what distros packaged your project on https://repology.org/.

Discover Slitaz, a 50MB Lightweight Desktop Operating System
I remember when the internet was smaller (20 years ago?) some people would have a comparison of different package managers for linux distros where they would dive in to examples and use. Anyway, this is a high level of package currency : https://repology.org/
The last distros I've used that didn't really have their own package managers were Slackware (it is just a tarball) and PuppyLinux (adopted from slackware or debian).
Anyway, Slitaz is here https://repology.org/repository/slitaz_cooking

The problem raised by Linus Torvalds on package management
You can basically install nix packages on every Linux and even MacOS. They are imo better developed and less error prone. You are guaranteed to never have dependency issues. The hashing scheme and idea of representing and building packages from derivation logic is spectacular design. The design of Nix inherently supports atomic upgrades and the likes of an immutable system. Also, afaik, it has the largest package availability currently (at least as many pkgs as Arch's) https://repology.org/

Nix (the package manager of NixOS that can be installed on other distributions like Flatpak) releases version 2.4
Yep, it's no. 1 on https://repology.org/

Distros
Most have it on their website, but you can also check here
- Is there a website that has all the "apt install <app>" apps?

Building a standalone Haskell binary with alpine-linux and stack.
https://openbuildservice.org/ is one way to produce distribution packages across a wide selection of distributions, if your source code is open.

Manjaro's new website that integrates with pamac to provide a web based interface to install software. Supports repositories' packages, flatpaks and snaps
As fair as I understand, OBS is indeed a suitable replacement for AUR right now.

The Future of Snapcraft | Ubuntu
OpenBuildService is better in every way, is fully opensource everywhere and can even generate packages for ubuntu better than launchpad appears to, and can even build entire distros. No special integrations are necessary, it can cost-effectively work with a highly paralellized number of virtual machines (iinm 100 or more on generic threadripper or epyc).
-
Why is it so difficult for a software application team to support so many distributions via packaging? Is there no machinery to robotically package any application for any of the given major distributions? Why not?
Suse's OBS is another option, and there are likely others...

Linux on the Desktop: Part Two
Good idea, give it a try. I'd recommend Kubuntu or Mint with Cinnamon. I switched to KDE for KDE Connects' amazing smartphone (Android) integration, which i recommend srrongly to try. Switched to openSUSE Tumbleweed myself, best KDE implemention IMHO, rolling release and the software selection is great, whats missing from the repos can be installed via opi, a client for [0]. It is not that newbie friendly though, since SUSEs' focus is on the enterprise ie safety over ease of use.

I switched from macOS to Linux after 15 years of Apple
Try it on openSUSE, the best KDE integration by far IMHO, since it is their standard DE since IDK/forever? Tumbleweed offers the newest packages, rolling like Arch, but with a huge test battery on OBS (https://openbuildservice.org/). Snapshots on upgrade make the thought of breakage (haven't had any) tolerable.
