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.

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.

Conformant OpenGL 4.6 on the M1
> When the X13S Snapdragon released I seem to remember it shipping with first-party Linux drivers for almost everything
Nope. 2 years on there's still no webcam support for this device [1], though it is in a lot better place than it was on launch (not being able to boot at all on mainline).
The Surface Pro X still seems to be a long way off [2].

Graviton 3, Apple M2 and Qualcomm 8cx 3rd gen: a URL parsing benchmark
It looks like there's been some good progress on getting Linux running natively on the Windows Dev Kit 2023 hardware[0]. There was a previous discussion here about this hardware back in 2022-11[1].

Linux on Surface Pro X
https://github.com/linux-surface/surface-pro-x/wiki/Basic-Setup The linux-surface project seems to provide support for it at this point.

Surface pro X windows/Linux dual boot.
I'd recommend you follow the Surface Pro X GitHub page. It would have the most help for this project.

Linux on surface Pro X q2
Think it's more a lack of manpower/interest to get things running on it, would likely shift if Microsoft went all-in on ARM, see https://github.com/linux-surface/surface-pro-x

please I use a surface pro x, and I want to boot from usb and install and use another os, like Linux, what do I do? Cause I tried all the usual, and I the surface just restarts as normal. It's looking nigh impossible to boot from usb here.
here is a status on a "portage" of linux on the spx : https://github.com/linux-surface/surface-pro-x/issues/1

Torvalds using Asahi
Standards like UEFI, ACPI, and so on. Microsoft Surface Pro X supports this set of standards: https://github.com/linux-surface/surface-pro-x/wiki/Basic-Setup and that's why "installation should work with any recent ACPI-based installer" which is what Linux distributions targeting ARM servers use (the umbrella certification for this set of standards is called ARM ServerReady).
What are some alternatives?
