That is, turned on its side so the display is vertical, using an external keyboard. I’m thinking of getting one of the Yoga models, which are naturally suited to that. I run primarily browsers, emacs, and maybe calibre, under Debian GNU/Linux. My questions:

  1. Any issues getting the X server to work that way?

  2. Any issues with cables having to stick out of the edges and poke things? At minimum a power cable, but i like to use Ethernet instead of WiFi when I can.

Thanks!

    Interesting, thanks. I hadn’t even thought about Wayland. I’ve been using MATE and it runs X by default. I wonder if I can change that. I’ve never used Wayland and don’t know much about it.

    I’ve never had trouble using a USB keyboard with X. I don’t think X realizes there are two keyboards. Bluetooth might be different.
