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.

Suggestion on dual booting vs wsl
That vsock thing can be done with GWSL/VcXsrv too. Check this out: https://github.com/nbdd0121/wsld
-
Has anyone tried using the new SSH feature to connect to WSL2?
Those that don't want to pay for it, checkout these two neat open source projects called GWSL & WSLD (for vsock). These days I don't care much about using the Linux GUI stuff on Windows anymore, as Microsoft is winning, but once I have to be more serious about it I'll use them again (or do something else.)
-
How to explicitly use Vcxsrv, and not WSLg?
This way WSLg will be disabled but you can still use the X servers (like VcXsrv or the other tools that use it like GWSL) which can use X over TCP or X over vsock (there's WSLD which uses vsock for a more stable & reliable connection).
-
Comparison of methods for running GUI applications in WSL
wsld can do the same for regular xserver which to me currently looks like best option.
- Terminator will not run on WSL2
-
Some initial short thoughts on WSLg vs using vcXsrv X server User Experience.
With the Ubuntu 21.04 Community Preview from MS Store (with the ubuntu.Interop.advancedipdetection: true) it's fine but, if that isn't a distro that one would like to use then WSLD helps with that as well. You can see my post here from a while ago for a quick reference too.

Introducing Windows 11
Sure, but the experience is pretty rough. It only renders at a single given DPI, so it's bad if you have say, a 4K laptop and 1080p external monitor. And since you have to go over TCP unless you use WSL1 (or some hacks that require admin access), it drops all X11 connections if you suspend/resume in WSL2.

X Server with VPN connected via WSLD: WSL Daemon (formerly x11-over-vsock)
For automatic startup follow the instructions here (setup using Task Scheduler & ~/.profile / ~/.bash_profile / ~/.zlogin).
-
Improving Linux Graphics Performance (Hyper-V vs. VirtualBox)
Install vcxsrv and use X11 forwarding from your Guest to Windows via TCP. If you want this to be really lickety-split or if you do work that messes with your network connection, you can use VSOCK via x11-over-vsock. To get sound working, you can probably install Pulseaudio on windows and connect to your Linux guest that way.

[Projet] PIC 📷
PIC stands for Preview Image in CLI, I think this should be explicit enough. I first made it because I needed a way to display images in the terminal (for an xplr plugin), but the more I worked on it, the better it got, as of now I have implemented 4 different ways to preview images (I couldn't find other ones), some can even display GIFs!

Telegraph and the Unix Shell
Certain file managers like xplr allow for more advanced terminal UX. Check out the video on https://xplr.dev/ and you can see something like a live/interactive ls that allows toggling arguments (instead of running multiple commands and pushing previous stdout further into the past).

Ask HN: Is it still possible to live in a terminal?
The Vim/Neovim ecosystem has gotten unbelievably better over the last 5-10 years. "Living in the terminal" for core development work is IMO better than pretty much anything else out there; my Neovim setup has a modern plugin manager; an IDE-like experience with fast autocompletion as I type, goto definition, and automated refactor support; and a side-drawer file browser navigable with Vim motions. It feels like an IDE, except that it launches in ~100ms and has ultra-low typing latency. Using it with tmux panes means I can have various drawers and panes with a series of full, incredibly fast terminals wherever I want, with long-running tasks like automated test watching/running while I edit code placed wherever I want around the editor panel. Not to mention the Cambrian explosion of "modern" terminal tooling getting built, like xplr [1], hyperfine [2], httpie [3], etc.
That being said, I think "living in the terminal" for general purpose computing, like browsing the web or talking to your coworkers, has been in a kind of frozen standstill while the rest of the world has moved on. I think it isn't worth trying to push non-dev work into the terminal currently.
