The score comes from our model.

• Show HN: Apple Notes, Photos and Find My as Native Linux Apps (Omarchy/Arch) · score 8.0

  iCloud for Omarchy provides native Linux (Arch/Omarchy) apps for Apple Notes, Photos, and Find My, sharing a single sign-in via a D-Bus daemon and session client. Notes sync bidirectionally with Markdown files, Photos and Find My use GTK4, and all apps expose scriptable CLIs with JSON output. It fills a real gap for Linux users embedded in Apple's ecosystem, with thoughtful security and packaging.

• Show HN: OpenScreen 2.0 – open-source Screen Studio alternative (Win/Mac/Linux) · score 7.8

  OpenScreen is an open-source cross-platform desktop app for screen recording and video editing, positioned as a free alternative to Screen Studio. It offers AI-powered editing, on-device transcription, GPU-accelerated rendering, a headless CLI, and an MCP server for AI agents, making it a powerful tool for creating polished product demos and walkthroughs.

• Show HN: Vela, a New Linux Desktop Environment · score 7.3

  Vela is a Linux desktop environment with its own Wayland compositor, Vulkan renderer, Qt Quick shell, file manager, and settings app, emphasizing modern design, high-refresh motion, fractional scaling, and efficiency. It showcases deep technical work like custom damage tracking, late latching, direct scanout, and frame pacing, but remains beta software with limited hardware validation and a modest user base.

• Show HN: L4H – seL4-based hypervisor for Linux VMs · score 7.3

  L4H is a Type-1 hypervisor built on the seL4 microkernel that runs Linux VMs as usermode threads without hardware virtualization extensions. It provides strong isolation, TPM-backed attestation, and IOMMU protection, targeting production use on modern x86 CPUs. The project is technically ambitious and novel in its approach to leveraging seL4 for Linux virtualization.
