Score: 5.5/10 (Innovation: 5, Technical: 6, Documentation: 7, Utility: 4)

X Mode is a shell-based customization for Omarchy (a Linux distribution built on Hyprland) that recreates macOS-style window management: floating windows, Mac-like titlebars with app tabs, Rectangle-style snapping, a right-edge dock, and Command-Tab app switching. It is interesting because it provides a complete, optional Mac-like desktop layer on top of a tiling compositor, with per-app settings and extensive shortcut remapping, all while leaving Omarchy's default tiling intact.

Target audience: Linux desktop users, especially those coming from macOS or using Omarchy/Hyprland who want floating window management with Mac-style controls
