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.

Stuck in grub
Finally, as someone who has put, and continues to put, a lot of volunteer effort into providing quality documentation (e.g. my work thus far on the Gentoo wiki, my work on the Void docs, my work porting the documentation for the s6 ecosystem), i can tell you it's frustrating and discouraging to put in all this work to provide helpful documentation to others - rather than having to write the same things in discussion threads again and again - and to continually improve it, only for people to ignore it in favour of some random (and often inaccurate) tutorial. So personally, i'm fine with the fact that, since the OP's question quickly got succinctly answered, people here subsequently wanted to (non-condescendingly) make sure the OP primarily used the Handbook.

FYI: grex.org dies on 2023 APR 15
Ultimately, my perspective is "let's try out a plethora of different approaches, and learn from experience what does and doesn't work in which situations". So i'd be all for a 'MiniHTML' effort (even if i don't end up getting involved myself), which i've seen many people suggest - but there doesn't seem to be any such effort that has gained momentum. Partly, i suspect, because of the common ICT phenomenon of "I want this, but someone else will have to work out the implementation details" (where the devils are). One personal example of this is of lots of people demanding man page versions of the s6 documentation, and lots of people talking about how this could be done, but no-one actually rolling up their sleeves - until i just got the bit between the teeth and did the work.

PSA: You can't build GCC 11 with mold
Well, indeed, i certainly wasn't expecting you to do so! But i already have more than enough volunteer FOSS stuff on my plate as it is (e.g. Ebuku, pulseaudio-control, s6-man-pages, execline-man-pages and guides, amongst various other things), and not using mold with gcc 11 is no problem for me at this point. So i've just noted the issue with the patch on the wiki page, and the patch will have to be updated by someone for whom it's more important.

some questions about s6: user services, man pages, hang up on shutdown
About the man pages issue, Laurent Bercot (the creator of s6) already mentioned why he does not include man pages with s6 (here)[https://skarnet.org/cgi-bin/archive.cgi?2:mss:2583:202008:liednclklokjhnokhdhg]. You can find s6 man pages (here)[https://github.com/flexibeast/s6-man-pages] (those are made by flexibeast, using the online s6 documentation).

I Didn’t Learn Unix By Reading All The Manpages
i agree with this piece, as someone who likes man pages to the extent of having ported significant amounts of the s6-ecosystem docs to mdoc(7), and as someone who has also written a number of guides.

Compiled kernel vs pre compiled kernel?
And the -bin kernel can be used to easily get many of the settings you'll need when you build your own kernel.
-
Is there anyway to extract the first page of an epub as image so I can use it in lf previewer
Gah, didn't even consider that the OP might have meant the cover image! Probably at least partly because i know that EPUBs don't necessarily need a cover image - i learnt this as a result of learning how to create a minimal EPUB. (And i actually have many EPUBs without a cover image.)
-
I really want to use Gentoo but I'm tired of the compiling
The point is to be able to customise where you want/need to, and to not have to when you don't. The -bin packages for FireFox, LibreOffice and Zig meet my needs, so i use them. i used the -bin package for the kernel to help me create a minimal kernel for my hardware, because messing around with kernel configuration is not my idea of a good time. But more generally, compiling allows me to specify things like: "i want packages compiled with USB and PCRE support where available, but i don't want them compiled with GNOME support."
-
Is it all about tuning?
Even though D-Bus is probably most often encountered by people in the context of GUI sessions, it's not specific to that; it can be (and is) used outside of such contexts. The widespread misunderstandings i've encountered about D-Bus over the years led me to write a short guide, "D-Bus: the essentials".

Freedesktop Notification Error!
(Some related background you might find helpful: a guide i wrote about D-Bus and X sessions).

Trouble creating OpenRC kernel from gentoo-sources
But more generally, you might find it helpful to refer to this guide i wrote on creating a minimal Gentoo-patched kernel via gentoo-kernel-bin (which can then be regularly updated just like any other Gentoo package).
-
Gonna switch to Gentoo
Take advantage of savedconfig where appropriate, e.g. for kernel builds. In particular, this can be used to easily create a minimal kernel for your hardware.

How to I get sound on Gentoo. I thought I installed the right sound card in my Kernel, but its not working
(Further to this, you might be interested in my guide to creating a minimal kernel for your hardware.)

The square root symbol looks incomplete, with the extension hanging outside
[a] i've actually written a quickstart guide to writing man pages with mdoc(7), to try to encourage others to use the semantics-oriented mdoc(7) macros for man pages, rather than the presentation-oriented man(7) macros.
What are some alternatives?
void-docs - mdbook source for docs.voidlinux.org
modprobed-db - Keeps track of EVERY kernel module that has ever been probed. Useful for those of us who make localmodconfig :)
ebuku - Emacs interface to the buku Web bookmark manager.
execline-man-pages - mdoc versions of the documentation for the execline suite
pulseaudio-control - Control PulseAudio volumes from Emacs, via `pactl`.
gentoo-install - A gentoo installer with a TUI interface that supports systemd and OpenRC, EFI and BIOS, as well as variable disk layouts using ext4, zfs, btrfs, luks and mdraid.
Gentoo-Stuff - Gentoo kernels, Portage configs & Linux things.
mold - Mold: A Modern Linker 🦠
hotfiles - 🏠 A collection of personal configuration files for various rices I have made.
pandoc - Universal markup converter
