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.

Low usage distro for developer
Macbook Airs of that era ran Sandy Bridge processors, so, assuming apple didn't factory under volt them, you can usually get away with at least a 100 mV under volt, which would increase all core performance, extend turboboost time, and increase battery life.

Needing a new distro
it being Debian means you can also easily install the liquorix kernel from the MX control panel, to get some decent gaming focused optimizations. I'd also suggest checking out https://github.com/georgewhewell/undervolt and considering undervolting your laptop, as it's about the only performance hack you can do with older, low powered laptops. It makes a big difference on the chromebooks I was mentioning, lower battery usage, lower temperature, and able to run at full boost speed with no real issues. That, and configuring zram with zstd compression and zram-size=ram can be a real gamechanger on machines with low memory. Also, it might be worth it to just get some more memory, if that's an option, but I couldn't tell you without knowing more about the laptop.

Undervolt program not working (Linux Mint)
I dualboot Linux Mint and Windows 10 on my laptop. I already use Throttlestop for undervolting on Windows, and wish to do the same on Linux. So far the only ways to undervolt an Intel CPU in Linux that I have found are 3 similar softwares based on the same project: https://github.com/mihic/linux-intel-undervolt . Out of these 3 the only one I could understand to install was this one: https://github.com/georgewhewell/undervolt . According to the documentation, it should work with my CPU.

Undervolting in Nobara
Hello all. I'm using a Predator Helios 300 (2020) and was using Throttlestop before switching to Nobara. Stumbled upon this undervolting program on GitHub and just wondering if this is safe to use given that Nobara is using a custom kernel? My laptop tends to go around 95ish in temps while gaming and I know that's normal for a gaming laptop, I just want to lower it a bit.

Undervolting Dell XPS 13 i7-7500U for silence and endurance
I used undervolt (https://github.com/georgewhewell/undervolt). Not sure about intel-undervolt, didn't try it.

Use a cooling pad. Use throttlestop to limit power thus stop throttling by high temperature. https://github.com/agoose77/throttlestop

I'm tired of Microsoft forcibly restarting and crashing my computer to "update it" despite my settings. I want to look into Linux.
There are tools for Linux for undervolting, but they are all commandline. This might be a dealbreaker for you, but is really not that bad. For many folks, it's much simpler than all the clicking. The tools are throttlestop for linux and undervolt.
