Yeah but, will antialiasing be noticeable?
Comment on TIL - Linux supports tilted monitors... apparently 22° is best
rtxn@lemmy.world 5 months agoVery 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.

Wayland devs, wake up and implement the features we truly need!

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.

Technically that’s compositor level stuff, and it probably can even treat it like an actual diagonal display and prevent windows from going there and everything.
This is a good example of why some of the protocols are taking so long. Once finalized, it’ll probably somehow also be capable of handling… that.
With an accelerometer and a compositor written for that can probably even keep it level in real time. Tilt monitor and windows rotate to match automatically.

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