Linux is the only OS to support diagonal PC monitor mode — dev champions the case for 22-degree-rotation computing::A Linux developer has eschewed boring traditional landscape and portrait monitor orientations and is championing diagonal modes, with 22 degrees claimed to be the sweet spot.
It’s pretty cool to have that as an option, but good lord it looks annoying to use that monitor arrangement.
You say that now, but just imagine you’ve slept wrong and kinked your neck but still have to get things done. Now you can set the display to 22 degree rotation but leave the monitor horizontal. Voila, the day is saved!
What’s the over/under on someone hooking an Arduino to an accelerometer on top of a monitor to automatically keep the display level? One week?
You’re looking at it wrong. You don’t want to attach the gyroscope to the monitor, you want to attach it to your head
Dual monitor in diagonal mode to get a perfect diamond orientation!
…I’m sure there’s some arcade game that plays on some awkward display that’s designed to be a diamond or even diagonal…
Well, arcade machines used CRT displays. Not sure someone was crazy enough to build cabinets in which you’d have to rig those heavy bastards so they rest on a corner.
Point the CRT upwards at a series of mirrors which display on a diagonal screen! Lmao
Now make the mirrors controllable and let the game do crazy optic full screen rotations, panning and zooming.
