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.

Learn Rust by writing a small OS
Yes, while it may seem on the surface like the blog hasn't been updated in a while, the whole rust x86 project is under active development:

Crash when loading IDT (using Rust)

ATA/AHCI driver
I see - looking at the source code of x86_64 library, I noticed that:https://github.com/rust-osdev/x86_64/blob/master/src/structures/idt.rs#L516What does that line do? I don't know Rust, but it feels like it repeats the first 32 IDT entries (which are for exceptions) for rest of the IDT.

Hackintosh: OpenCore EFI for HP Pavilion Aero 13 Laptop
Every Christmas break I always hope I'll have the emotional energy to dig back into https://github.com/PureDarwin/PureDarwin#readme and see if I can get it to boot, even on VirtualBox, let alone some hackintosh friendly hardware like OP did
I am super, super cognizant that the devil's in the proverbial details, but they sure do seem to publish a lot of macOS into the open <https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/distribution-macO...> so my interest is to map out the parts that are missing
I'm also aware that Darling exists (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38423469 ) but if it's anything like Wine -- no, thank you. The only reason Wine (and their CrossOver friends) are required to exist is because there's no suitable open source release of Windows, so emulating the bugs is glucose cheaper. I had high hopes for ReactOS when I was in college, but I think they're just pushing that rock uphill (although I am super glad the project exists)
Having said all of that, don't overlook that even if I snapped my fingers and had a PureDarwin built 14.3 .iso this very second, the supply chain for x86_64 applications for any such OS is likely going the way of the dodo, since it won't be in a vendor's best interest to dedicate resources to building releases for what they assume is a dead platform

macOS 13.5 source code released
To be fair, linking to the Releases page when there are no release notes are all here was completely useless for browsing. Linking directly to the tag on the Git repo would make it obvious that submodules are being used and allows browsing directly:
https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/distribution-macO...
I doubt most readers on HN are going to clone this locally and I also doubt anyone expects a release archive to contain Git submodules. This isn't to fault the repo authors, since we have to note that there isn't an actual "GitHub Release" here, it's just the automatic archive from GitHub for a certain tag.

Any good vendors still out there without a subscription model?
Vendors have been selling you open-source software since the '80s. Here's macOS 13.2's open-source components. Darwin isn't really a thing any more, but around half of what Apple doesn't distribute any more is open source as well.

aero - Aero is a new modern, experimental, UNIX-like operating system following the monolithic kernel design. Supporting modern PC features such as long mode, 5-level paging, and SMP (multicore), to name a few.
