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.

Vala Programming Language
My favorite thing about Vala personally is the wide range of native libraries you have access to because of its compatibility with GObjects.
There's a great documentation website that has everything located in one place also, which makes development a breeze: https://valadoc.org/
-
Package management
Meson is the preferred build system, and Valadoc.org is invaluable.
-
Need guidance for developping GTK4 + Libwaita apps
You can use guides written for C along with https://valadoc.org.
-
valadoc.org is down.
I'm not sure who needs to be contacted, but valadoc.org is down. I was unable to reach it in Firefox or Chrome. Who do I need to contact? I'm seeing that elementaryOS is hosting valadoc.org, is that still the case?
-
My first experience with Vala
The official Vala documentation is valadoc.org. I found the ecosystem of libraries around the language yet immature: it's not easy to found information or examples (an often when you found something it's pretty old). There isn't a standardization of the documentation of the libraries. This fact doesn't help a newbie.
-
Recommended language for developing a GTK4 app?
I believe Vala is the best choice since the syntax is so simple, and has amazing documentation here
-
Am I a bad developer?
For going further, a lot of the API references are friendlier now. I like Valadoc. PyGObject exists for Python. C and Rust don't seem to have a good centralized source, but the documentation is a lot better now a days.
-
What is a good starting point and a programming language to start GTK4 app development?
Vala is not very widely used, but all applications in Elementary OS are written in Vala, and their Developer Docs will help you get started writing your first GTK4 application in Vala really quickly. From there on, you can use the excellent valadoc.org for API reference, or browse the source code of Elementary apps on Github.
-
Is there any good documentation about GTK#?
I'm often using documentation from another language binding when developing with GTK. Most of the time the Vala documentation https://valadoc.org/, because the language was designed around GLib and GTK. In your case it's even closer, because Vala is a C# knockoff with a different backend. Should keep you clear from C verbosity.

What’s the story behind Valadoc’s slogan: “Stays crunchy. Even in milk.”?
Found a monumental commit 😌: https://github.com/vala-lang/valadoc-org/blob/3f434c8bcd76b711d0262284fadbdeeb47165e6a/README.md

Vala Programming Language
There's also a lot of apps written in Vala for elementary OS's AppCenter with screenshots & links to GitHub: https://appcenter.elementary.io/ (not all, but most). I published two apps there and using Vala has been a great experience for creating Gtk/Linux desktop apps.

elementary OS Updates for March, 2023
COVID hit like immediately afterwards so the sprint we had planned didn’t happen, but we did deliver on making AppCenter Flatpak-based so you can now install AppCenter apps on any distro just like you would any other Flatpak remote. You can browse and download apps at https://appcenter.elementary.io

A word about Linux developers and economy:
So, something along the lines of the elementary AppCenter?
-
Frustration with Linux'y installs... just venting....
I'm not sure why you said it is difficult to distribute Flatpaks outside of Flathub. On the repo host side elementary has their own Flatpak repo complete with an app payment system (before even Flathub has one). On the user side I can simply download a .flatpakref from appcenter.elementary.io and double click it, which will open Software with the app's metadata, and clicking Install will add the repo and install the app.
-
Is there a market for paid software designed for Linux?
Elementary OS has a pay what you want store. That might be a good route to go down.
-
Distro for Dell Inspiron 15 for some gaming, video editing, programming and design?
Yes, elementary is Ubuntu based, however it stands very far from it. It doesnt use snaps at all and instead uses flatpak. You can also just use apt if you really don't like Flatpak either. The "main" way to install software is through the AppCenter app, which uses flatpaks. They have their own software repository (appcenter) where apps are "curated" (aka all follow the elementary HIG and use the latest SDK version). But you can also install "non-curated" apps (aka from Flathub) directly from the AppCenter.
-
What is your ONE Steam Deck tip/trick you'd like to share?
You probably know that if you use desktop mode, you can use Discover to install a bunch of applications via Flatpak from a repository called Flathub. But, you can add an additional repository from another distro, Elementary OS, to get access to even more apps. They will show up in Discover, just like all others. To do this, simply execute:
-
Other than flathub what repositories are there?
elementary os appcenter https://appcenter.elementary.io/
-
If you could donate money to any Linux organization, distro or application what would it be and what functionality would you want your money to go towards?
AppCenter, which is focused on open source GTK apps and accepts payments on elementary OS
-
Is flathub the only flatpak repository?
Elementary AppCenter - setup
