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
goodless shitty one).xrandrcan use a matrix to transform the entire output, so you can scale, rotate, move, or shear it as much as you’re evil.Wayland devs, wake up and implement the features we truly need!
They’ll end up spending more time arguing about it than implementing it
I swear to fucking Stallman, this is at least the fourth time this past week I’ve seen a unique post about this same fucking shit. One dude writes an article going “xrandr let’s you rotate the screen 22 degrees” and the holiday tech news cycle just loses its mind.
lets* you rotate
d’oh, thanks
This is one of those jokes that will absolutely spark a trend where in a few months Asus will have a diagonal monitor for sale and there will be videos and articles about how life changing it is.
The Internet was and continues to be a mistake.
I thought this was an Onion article a few wks ago
It all comes from a blog post from 2021. A picture from it went viral on X/Twitter a week ago. (First two links in the article) Since then everyone is posting it.
I can’t obviously see it there, I do think its a bit stupid, but I would have thought that Toms Hardware wouldn’t have bitten the onion? Or have they gone downhill that far?
They’ve gone down that far… Lol
I’m still waiting for hexagon monitors as they are clearly the bestagon.
I could totally see using this as a display wall. *Kyle in a bunch of them as a store display or a small display.
*When you ask for tile and google gives you Kyle.
Damnit Kyle!!

Wasn’t this how the Morbius sequel was memed into existence
The Internet was and continues to be a mistake.
Said a guy on the internet
I know what I said. I said it.
You have to see the irony in the statement though…
Explain it to me
You are on the internet, saying internet was and is a mistake. Just found it funny is all. Sorry I bothered you with my comment.
But will it automatically adjust with an internal gyroscope?
Would be interesting to see a gui that maximizes the content based on rotation if that were even possible
And my teachers said not to write all my Python in one line.
[for x in range(x: lambda: [while y < z class foo(x: int…
“is the best” says like one guy. This looks like a nightmare to use TBH.
** for one very specific version of “best”
requires xrandr
Cries in wayland…
Iirc Wayland as a protocol supports rotation of Window surfaces. I’m not sure if any of the compositors have exposed it as an option. Maybe Weston
Wayfire has a plugin to rotate windows.
Earth’s axial tilt is 23.5°, COINCIDENCE? I DON’T THINK SO!!!
Seriously though, I’d be tempted to set it to 23.5° as a gag and tell everyone “Well, for full accuracy, you have to correct for the Earth’s axial tilt…”
Keep in mind that the planet rotates, so the angle between the ecliptic and the screen has to be recalculated periodically with a cron job.
Should be easy to automate it completely with an arduino and a stepper motor.
Alright you crazy bastards. Go and make this a thing.
Make it and then sell it to my wife to give to me for a gag gift next Christmas.
Her budget for such a thing would probably be ~$100 if you need a target price point.
turns on display
There is a swirl displayed
Display starts spinning
“You’re getting sleepy…”
Don’t give governments any more ideas.
For this I would use a servo, not a stepper.
No thanks, I need this as much as I need a VR desktop
Meh, screen angle is constant. Not impressed until it supports screens with a constant angular velocity.

With a high enough spin rate, it’d be like having a much larger monitor.
Why would I need a Dutch angle monitor?
For correcting Dutch Angle video… Obviously.
Make a monitor that corrects video tilt in real-time while watching episodes of Star Trek.
Or a Rick Mercer rant (that is a very specifically Canadian use though)
This way if you align your monitor with the rotational axis of the Earth, the image appears to sit still in space.

It would be interesting to have an app that tilted your screen to see what it would look like from other places on the globe. I’m sometimes curious about the angle offset I have with various other parts of the world.
Though you’d need to be able to rotate in two dimensions to properly capture the differences on a globe. It might be able to, if it’s rendering the desktop to a 3d surface and applying the rotation to that.
Actually, even cooler would be to have an actuator that would physically rotate the monitor around all 3 axii instead of rotating what it displays.
I can’t even get my second screen to turn on with Linux mint.
Really my triple monitor set up works without a hitch
I think it’s a weird compatibility issue with my r9 380, it works on windows and shows up in xrandr just constant no signal.

We just need round monitors so the dimensions don’t change when rotating the display.
And a gyroscope to rotate the image so it doesn’t rotate when rotating the display.
I once used a vertical monitor at work and people thought it was wild. A tilted monitor would cause a full blown riot at my job, and I don’t want blood in my hands.
