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.

Grey screen of no-loading death?
I've tried upgrading webmin to the latest using the .sh script `/usr/share/webmin/update-from-repo.sh` and, although nuclear, didn't work!

IPv6 only systems and control panels
webmin website can only be accessed on IPv4 only systems but when I tried accessing the website from an IPv6 only system, I got hostname not found. When I did a ping on www.webmin.com, I discovered it has an IPv4 address and no IPv6 address.

Is it possible to use Linux only through GUI?
Maybe you are looking for this https://www.webmin.com ?
-
problem transcoding lagging
Yes. One VM to house the media (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Server, with Samba) and one VM to run Jellyfin (also Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Server, with Jellyfin and Caddy). I have Webmin installed on both for easier oversight.
- Probably a noob question but is there a dashboard that I can run locally and can use to manage my local servers as well as my subscribed VPS (I have three to be exact)

Server management tool with GUI
There is already Cockpit mentioned, I use from years Webmin on all my VM's

What according to u is Easy Linux distribution for hosting sites?
If you aren't in this to learn a lot, you may want to also consider a web hosting control panel like cPanel (not free), DirectAdmin(not free), webmin + virtualmin (free for multiple sites, virtualmin Pro is not free), Centos webpanel (not FOSS but free for non-Pro), Hestia control panel (FOSS), Plesk Obsidian (not free).

How to Setup a superb License Free LAMP WEB SERVER on special VPS
install joomla CMS to your web folder (public_html). And go to browser enter your domain and you will see setup joomla instructions. After all your web site is ready. Then you can customize your web site as you can do. Finally many thanks to developers who work for for Joomla , Virtualmin, Debian, Webmin, Let's Encrypt and more Open Source's organizations. I think people must support such Open Source's organizations My motto is that "World can be better with knowledge". ** I i wish to prepare Youtube serial for more details from start to end **

Help installing webmin
I must admit, I had to google that. I've never heard of webmin.

Setting up server
What you need then isn't a RMM, it is most likely a server accessible via a web interface. If you want to go the Ubuntu server rout, try out Webmin, I used it for a bit and if work well, but it's not the best.

Doas – dedicated OpenBSD application subexecutor
OpenDOAS has actually had the OpenBSD-specific code removed, and replaces some of the doas mechanisms that rely upon OpenBSD to work with sudo-like flag files and suchlike.
There are, moreover, 2 ports of doas to other systems. OpenDOAS is one. Jesse Smith's https://github.com/slicer69/doas is the other. The latter retains the OpenBSD-specific code, and is the more portable of the two at the expense of only doing everything that the tool is capable of when actually built on OpenBSD.

Testing the memory safe Rust implementation of Sudo/Su
There's also a straight port of doas:

However unlike sudo and opendoas this does not implement the persist feature on not-OpenBSD.

Doas Mastery (2019)
As mentioned elsewhere, this is because it relies upon a kernel mechanism that Linux simply does not have, and fixing this involves fixing Linux.
To which I add that it is important not to conflate Jesse Smith's doas, the portable doas that has code for different operating systems including OpenBSD, with Duncan Overbruck's OpenDoas, the "open" doas that is tied to Linux has has had the code for other operating systems removed and mechanisms copied in from sudo for things like timeout flag files.

Don't abuse su for dropping user privileges (2015)
TIOCSTI is irrelevant. When one is dropping privileges, in a system cron job or in a process supervised by one's favourite service management system, there is no terminal involved. TIOCSTI simply doesn't enter into the picture at all.
Only when one is in a terminal login session and using su to elevate / add privileges, does TIOCSTI become relevant. But no-one here is saying not to use su to add privileges.
People blame su, sudo, and (as the person at https://github.com/slicer69/doas/issues/110 did) doas for this feature of operating system kernels. The right thing to do with TIOCSTI it to just eliminate it from the kernel. OpenBSD did back in version 6.
Sadly, the argument from Alan Cox, Linux developer, when this was proposed years ago was that it should stay in Linux, and all of the programs like su, sudo, and doas should have even more things to do in the parent process that sticks around, namely pump I/O to and from a controlling pseudo-terminal that su/sudo/doas sets up for the shell subprocess, breaking (as the maintainer of OpenDoas pointed out) the long-standing notion that the child processes belong to the same terminal session and share things like a single getlogname() with the login shell.
6 years after https://www.openwall.com/lists/kernel-hardening/2017/05/10/3... and https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2017/06/03/9, there is no sign of anyone doing anything of the sort in any su or doas implementation. (It was briefly in one su implementation, but taken out in 2017 for being a "stupid hack": https://github.com/util-linux/util-linux/commit/23f75093264a...)
Fortunately, some six months ago Linux developers finally made TIOCSTI removable and the right course of action is available to those that want it: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20221228205726.rfevry7ud6gmttg5...

Linux tool to show progress for cp, mv, dd
It's more likely that this is the entire "upstream downstream" development model in action again.
There are vast numbers of improvements to softwares that never get sent to the places where they will do the most good (or at least have a proper record of why they were rejected by their authors). A quick perusal of the bug trackers of Debian or Ubuntu will reveal tonnes of local patches that the original authors of the softwares often never even hear about.
Things don't "stick" often times simply because they get lost.
I was looking at something like that just the other day. Here's a bug report that describes a problem with "doas" not opening the controlling terminal to do its authentication dialogue. This is actually a problem with a package named LinuxPAM, and doesn't occur when "doas" uses OpenPAM or BSD Auth. It's LinuxPAM that's where the code in question is. Fixing LinuxPAM would improve the lives of everyone that uses LinuxPAM, because the behaviour of not allowing standard input through in a command pipeline is not confined to "doas" but affects everything that uses LinuxPAM to do login authentication.
But time and again stuff like this languishes in the wrong place, for years and decades.
