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.

Xorg being removed. What does this mean?
>barrier has been unmaintained for a long time.
As if not having new features added for 2 years makes it stop working? barrier is perfectly fine on normal linux desktop installs. I actually use synergy 1.x personally which has been "unmaintained" for much, much longer. Except synergy 1.x will compile and run on anything from windows 98 to ubuntu 5 to debian 12. You can't get a waynergy or inputleap to compile on an OS more than 2 years old. And even then, as you say, it's crapshoot if the particular wayland will have libei; many like sway are actively hostile to it and never will: https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/issues/2378
- Does Wayland use less battery than x11 in Fedora Linux?
-
Arch Linux odd question
It looks like they actually patched it to filter those modes out, so presumably it worked out of the box and was considered undesirable: https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/issues/3038

Asahi Linux To Users: Please Stop Using X.Org
I haven't experienced any of those. The video game performance hit may be due to vsync, but I don't play games so I haven't noticed.
-
If I install a distro without a GUI, can I still launch graphical applications (like a Firefox window, for example)?
You can however use tinywl. It is an example Wayland compositor that can't do more than displaying one application.
-
Nearest-neighbor scaling on XWayland apps?
Sway/wlroots has implemented this, but I can't find any discussion for KDE.

Wofi is SO superior to Rofi
wlroots is archived on github. Is it abandoned? Just saying, that only means they moved git hosts :-D
- wayland-protocols update to allow tearing
-
Wayland harder for DE developers?
A lot of compositors are based no the wlroots lirbary. So they are still sharing the development effort and have a common base, its just in the form of a library rather than a display server.

Do I need to have a beefy PC to transcode 4k? Or can I just buy my brother an Nvidia shield pro and setup a cheap server on my end?
This can be patched out. https://github.com/keylase/nvidia-patch

Linux 6.6 to Protect Against Illicit Behavior of Nvidia Proprietary Driver
> CUDA, and pretty much all optimization(hacks) done to run games better
And arbitrary limitations implemented at the driver level to force you to purchase their enterprise GPUs, see https://github.com/keylase/nvidia-patch#nvenc-and-nvfbc-patc...

GPU Guide (For AI Use-Cases)
Nvidia has no motivation to make a consumer card with lots of VRAM, that's basically the only (relevant) separator between the GeForce family and the Quadro lineup.
There are restrictions on NVENC streams with consumer cards, but that has been a solved problem for a while [0].
If they were to make a consumer card with more VRAM, it would immediately undercut their own Quadro/Tesla lineup, which cost substantially more. I don't see a reason for them to do it.

Can't hardware transcode mor than 5 at a time even after all the required changes
I have never had to do the session limit bump thing from the last link. I have a 3090 as well and simply did the initial unlock, which worked fine. I would reinstall fresh drivers from Nvidia, making sure you install the newest one that is supported by the unlock tool (536.40 as of this post, the GitHub for the patch has links to the drivers - https://github.com/keylase/nvidia-patch/tree/master/win)
- Can you flash any consumer version Nvidia card to remove the streaming limits?
-
Can my GPU transcode?
Aren't these Quadro versions. The patch here. https://github.com/keylase/nvidia-patch supports Quadro versions of you click on the win clickable.

Let's have a talk - Guide to Choosing the Best Plex Server for You
Second, the GPU. The GPU is probably as important as the CPU, and in some cases more important, and when we talk about GPUs we will primarily talk about Nvidia GPUs as they are officialy supported by the Plex team. NVIDIA GPUs are important for Plex hardware transcoding due to their dedicated video encoding/decoding units, superior performance, wide codec support, improved video quality, reduced CPU load, power efficiency. They offer a powerful hardware acceleration solution that can greatly enhance the transcoding capabilities of a Plex server. It's also important to note that Nvidia GPUs require a patch to unlock the number of HW transcoding streams. Dedicated GPUs are large pieces of hardware and have their place in desktop PCs. However, they can also be used with mini-PCs by using an external GPU enclosure.

What does this Max. 3 concurrent stream cap mean anway?
As there's no NVENC patch available (yet) for the Beta driver branch - referring to this one: https://github.com/keylase/nvidia-patch - which can lift the limits of HW transcoding, I was now wondering a little, as I can see 5 (hw) streams on Plex, which actually shouldn't/cannot be the case no?
-
Is there somewhere that lists Nvidia GPUs.
I haven’t done this yet but there is a patch on GitHub that removes the limitation for consumer GPUs. Makes lower end cards more attractive for this type of work
