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.

NVK is now ready for prime time
I totally agree, and so do the people working on it as well as some of the volunteers who write tutorials.
There's an ongoing effort to create beginner friendly introductory material which was discussed in the recent Vulkanised conference. And an effort to make a better documentation site that's easier to browse than the specification.
On the volunteer front, there's a Vulkan 1.3 -based introductory tutorial (work in progress) over at https://vkguide.dev/
I think there should be a Vulkan tutorial that doesn't start with the boring stuff of initialization and window creation. It's stuff that you write once and forget about, and nothing particularly interesting happens in it.
Looking at my hobby project, excluding the boring stuff (which is reusable), a "hello compute" example is around 100 LOC and a "hello triangle" around 120 LOC. GLSL shader sources included.
Maybe someday I'll get around to writing a "learn Vulkan the hard way" blog post with examples.

What are the best textbooks/resources for learning graphics programming practically in 2023?
Once you're beyond the "introductory" phase, resources become more specialized based on what you'd like to learn -- there are Vulkan tutorials like https://vkguide.dev/ which will teach you the API and also give a bit more insight in how modern GPU hardware is structured, there are books like the "GPU Zen" series that do deep-dives on specific techniques, and there are tons of recorded GDC and SIGGRAPH talks on interesting new techniques. :)

Yuzu Ea 3608 is out!
Personally, I'm a hands on learner who actually wants to use this stuff in my career, so I'd recommend these tutorials: https://learnopengl.com/ https://vulkan-tutorial.com/Overview https://vkguide.dev/

Theory on structuring graphics projects, building interfaces, and designing abstractions?
vkguide teaches some good practices regarding code/renderer structure, but I'm afraid it doesn't go as deep as you'd like. It's certainly deeper than most other tutorials, though.

"reportedly Apple just got absolutely everything they asked for and WebGPU really looks a lot like Metal. But Metal was always reportedly the nicest of the three modern graphics APIs to use, so that's… good?"
https://vkguide.dev/ This is my favorite.

Ask HN: How to create a simple 2D game in C?
Take a look at SFML. Very easy to get started, and quite capable.

rewriting a java project to C++, a bit lost on something.
As for windows, you'd probably be alright looking into SFML, you can see their Getting Started tutorial for how to install it in your IDE of choice.
