2024 could be the year of the Linux diagonal desktop.

Not sure I could ever live with that - anyone able to test if multi monitors works?

    You know how when your coworker leaves their desk and forgets to lock their computer, you change their desktop wallpaper to Oompa Loompas or whatever?

    This is the new that.

      How fine is the resolution of the tilt? I wonder how long it would take to figure out that your display was tilted by 1 degree or less.

        Very fine, as long as the computer uses X (the good less shitty one). xrandr can use a matrix to transform the entire output, so you can scale, rotate, move, or shear it as much as you’re evil.

            They’ll end up spending more time arguing about it than implementing it

            The biggest hurdle is getting shit past the GNOME developers. Wayland could implement a protocol that cures leukemia, and they’d still raise a stink about use-cases because it doesn’t touch other types of cancer.
