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.
it always used to be using the windows command to rotate the screen, this will just add a new layer of confusion.
...or as they are using linux it will probably be seen as a good challenge
Windows command to rotate the screen, screenshot the desktop, set it as wallpaper, hide the icons & start bar... Functionally reversed mouse, and can't click anything.
I just aliased
cdto eject the disk drive.Old school.
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 ~~good~~ less 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
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.
