Alt text: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.

I've never seen something so wonderful and horrible at the same time. Let's hope it's used for commercial displays more and desktops less.

I don't even know how this would be useful for commercial displays.

Maybe for some very stylistic installations that are more for looks than practicality?

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

On one hand you would have an even larger screen real estate, on the other you now have two overlapping refresh rates.

This comes off as one of those "we asked if we could, but never asked if we should" kinds of things...

@southernwolf As someone who occasionally does webdev

I am very scared.
