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.

How can my system load be so high if the CPUs are barely being used? Disk IO?
Well... What that's showing is that at some point in time you copied some pages into swap. Since there's no competition for that, they have just stayed there. It doesn't mean that you are seeing memory pressure now, only that at some point since the last reboot your memory usage passed the high water mark which encouraged the kernel to start thinking about swap. If you have sysstat installed you can run through sar to see when that was and even get some idea of whether or not any of those pages written to swap were ever read again, but just having some pages written to swap doesn't mean a whole lot on its own.

How to do a hard reboot remotely on an Intel NUC
You can try sysstat/ iostat. https://github.com/sysstat/sysstat Have a cron or systemd process take periodic snapshots and log them or email them. The swordfish on paper looks fast enough, but it’s on the slow side for a NVMe. For reference I’m running a NUC8 i5 with 16GB of RAM, 1 TB Adata XPG SX8200 Pro and it’s been rock solid. Ubuntu 20.04LTS.
- I made a terminal utility to monitor some system stats. Was wondering if you guys know of anything better or if I should continue dev work on it since we need it?

TIL there's a fork of the unmaintained p7zip port of 7-Zip
The p7zip port of 7-Zip is several releases behind and the project seems to be abandoned. I discovered this when a large archive failed to extract with Engrampa which uses it. It reported a "Headers Error" which is due to a compatibility problem between zip format implementations. 7-Zip has a fix but the port doesn't. But there's a fork on GitHub which is being actively maintained. Check it out.

Linux mint mate has something called "System Monitor" that is a running graphical plot of system activity. http://www.mate-desktop.org It is by the Mate developers. Very nice. It is similar to the windows monitor.

What compression tool you mainly use?
I use Engrampa. Which archive format I use depends on the use case. For example, if Windows users are involved, I usually use Rar archives. Under Linux, I usually use tar.xz.
What are some alternatives?
Grafana - The open and composable observability and data visualization platform. Visualize metrics, logs, and traces from multiple sources like Prometheus, Loki, Elasticsearch, InfluxDB, Postgres and many more.
p7zip - A new p7zip fork with additional codecs and improvements (forked from https://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzip/ AND https://sourceforge.net/projects/p7zip/).
atop - System and process monitor for Linux
grafterm - Metrics dashboards on terminal (a grafana inspired terminal version)
prometheus - The Prometheus monitoring system and time series database.
bottom - Yet another cross-platform graphical process/system monitor.
xfce4-genmon-scripts - 🐭 XFCE panel generic monitor scripts
pbzip2
s-tui - Terminal-based CPU stress and monitoring utility
archinstall - Arch Linux installer - guided, templates etc.
mediactl - Media controls for Linux, powered by MPRIS via D-Bus
