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.

this makes me wonder if you could have a sensor for monitor orientation and have a dynamic ui that would adjust to keep the windows parallel to the ground no matter how it was spun.
Windmill spinning monitors for everyone!
@snooggums @southernwolf @HubertManne That sounds like one of those abstract art pieces you’d see in a museum lol
i’m just imagining a monitor that’s also a fan
that’s an amazing idea
Ive seen this exact demo working for a product before, but it never made it into the released version. So doable, but more trouble than its really worth I think.
On one hand you would have an even larger screen real estate, on the other you now have two overlapping refresh rates.
