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.

How to connect to a docker container service when it's running on a mac?
This is due to the way Windows and OSX implement docker. They both use a VM running Linux; Windows uses Hyper-V and OSX uses Bhyve. (https://github.com/machyve/xhyve)

Asymptotic Notation !
Nowadays, docker uses runc, that is OCI compliant. Docker on macOS uses Hypervisor.framework through xhyve, and is completely macOS native. No VM is used (even under the hood) when running docker on macOS, it's native.
- Does xhyve on MacOS (Monterey) supports the passthru of the GPU ?

Favourite Hypervisor for a macOS Host?
I was happiest with xhyve https://github.com/machyve/xhyve
Serial console in terminal was nice (for me!), network configuration was trash (I think I was able to set the subnet by fiddling around with system plists? and it would revert from time to time), and I didn't have to deal with Virtualbox. I've been away from macs for a while, I don't know if xhyve works on the M1, but it might. I ran a FreeBSD vm so I could run my server code on my laptop in an environment that was like production but slower.

The xhyve fork/port of bhyve for MacOS is worth mentioning: https://github.com/machyve/xhyve

Docker for Mac actually spins up TinyCoreLinux VMs using xhyve that your docker containers run on top of. This is because containers borrow the host kernel, so you can't natively run Linux containers on Mac. Xhyve spawns VMs so a Linux kernel will be present.

There's also been a port of FreeBSD's bhyve to macOS for years: https://github.com/machyve/xhyve (which, in turn, is [or at one point was] used by Docker to virtualize Linux)

What Is Your Hypervisor
I've used xyhve on my Mac to have a FreeBSD VM running a copy of https://www.freshports.org/, including a copy of the database, which runs about 200GB. For dev work, it was fine. I used it when I didn't have [great] internet connectivity, for example, when on the train/plane. When upgrading packages or just doing dev work, it was great.

Making the most of Apple Silicon power: 2 Core capabilities
You can force it to E core, using the taskpolicy command.
Here I use it to let my VM run in the background:

QEMU 6.2
I've installed Ubuntu Server in a QEMU VM on my M1 MacBook, and can switch it to use the efficiency or performance cores so it doesn't affect battery life. I have a blog post explaining it:

And this is the script to set it to power saving mode:
