Twitter post by Daniel Feldman (@d_feldman): Linux is the only major operating system to support diagonal mode (credit [Twitter] @xssfox). Image shows an untrawide monitor rotated about 45 degrees, with a horizontal IDE window taking up a bottom triangle. A web browser and settings menu above it are organized creating a window shape almost like a stepped pyramid.

Another funny concept
BRB, sticking microcontrollers to the back of my monitors so I can use their accelerometers to report the orientations in real time...
Linux is the only major operating system ~~to support diagonal mode~~
Not on wayland, right? Time to pester wayland devs to add this important missing features!
Why would you want this?
How many minor operating systems support it? 🤔
Finally, Peewees Playhouse has found open source representation.
Who hurt you
How can you do fractional rotation? Does it only work with x11 or is it also supported in wayland?
I remember seeing the video of this. The guy was doing it for shits and giggles, but it ended up looking great!
I won't try implement something like this even my boss forces me.
I hate this.
Original Article

Basically, it’s just some cool X11 magic that uses a matrix transformation to rotate the screen.
What has science done?
a great prank for computer labs... just rotate everything by 0.5 degrees...
This is just pain.
Dunder Mifflin did it first. The Pyramid.
This is why people can't take desktop linux seriously.
i guess ill have to get linux then, i NEED diagonal mode
Hey I know that guy he liked a few of my jokes on Twitter
Next is star shape.
Ah yes why I like Linux but hate supporting it
