TIL - Linux supports tilted monitors... apparently 22° is best - eviltoast
Linux is the only OS to support diagonal PC monitor mode — dev champions the case for 22-degree-rotation computing

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?

    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.

      Doesn’t need a protocol, just compositor support. Unless you want windows to be aware of being rendered at an angle, that is.

      Also I do wonder how broken that stuff is under X as the WM protocols that I remember definitely assumed axis-aligned monitor and windows.
