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.

Electronic music icon Korg makes music with Raspberry Pi
There's a bunch of people doing some pretty amazing synth builds with the Raspberry Pi -- the Zynthian crew [0] springs to mind.
Basically bring your own USB midi keyboard / controller - these tend to be cheap, but also engender very strong opinions, so there's some distinct advantages to having them as separate components, but with the synth box being much more portable than a laptop or desktop.
As to the Korg Wavestate - on this side of the pond (AU) it has an RRP of A$1500, though street pricing is around A$1000.

Help starting out a DIY synth guitar project
Another option might be to get a Raspberry Pi and a USB audio interface to run Zynthian. Zynthian can be built from scratch with a TV, mouse and keyboard. You will need the USB audio for a line input from your amp. Heaps of DIY learning building your own Zynthian. You can scale up to the full hardware kit if you like what you see.

Can OP-1 Field use a USB hub to act as MIDI host for multiple devices?
I suggest something Raspberry Pi based, Zynthian for example. It's the total opposite in this regard, allowing so much freedom and possibilities that it can get overwhelming.

Spare RaspberryPi 4b with Touchscreen, any ideas for integrating into setup?
There are several great RPi synth projects around, including mt32-pi, mini-dexed and samplerbox, but they're all intended for headless use (or with a tiny embedded display). The outlier in that respect AFAIK is Zynthian: https://zynthian.org/

Ardour 7.0 has been released
Exactly opposite situation in my case - my Ubuntu Studio rig has been rock solid for tracking and many projects .. but the good news is that even if, for whatever reason, you can't qite grok things to be as productive as a pro Ubuntu Studio user (hint: you can) we have all the good things happening in ZynthianOS to explore, anyway - and this just wraps up the same essential goodies into a hardware device that is push-button-user friendly:
And of course there are bleeding edge lessons learned, applied in things like monome, etc.

Piano sound module for midi controller?
Zynthian is a good option but a bit hard to get your hands on in the silicon supply chain crisis.
- Raspberry Pi in synths?
-
Any good portable synths?
Zynthian is a good one to add to this list.
- Supply chain issues are killing synth companies
-
Would an MPC Live 2 be helpful for me?
You might get some more traction by integrating a Raspberry Pi in a eurorack adapter (or RPi Pico) with some sort of CV interface and leveraging an open source project like Zynthian.

Real-time Ubuntu is now generally available
NixOS, currently with musnix enabled, but obviously not with their realtime kernel option.
- Is there any Linux distro dedicated to music performance around?
-
The most suitable distro for audio production
In NixOS you can simply enable stuff like realtime kernel configs with a project like musnix https://github.com/musnix/musnix
