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.

Why does this low key feel like something I would actually want to use

Yeah, I actually miss this sometimes, when I'm lounging in some weird position. The question is how much the keyboard would suck.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Like all of it.

I'd be awkward to hold at that angle.

[–] CanadaPlus@futurology.today 7 points 11 months ago

No, holding it would be fine in some situations. It's probably resting on a chair arm or something while my head is on the seat.

It's okay, I'll hold you at any angle x

Because you are not immune to propaganda.

The diagonal agenda is coming for your kids!!!

[–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 6 points 11 months ago

ah yes, i've been propagandized into... wanting my phone to have a diagonal mode

there are very few things more politically neutral than this.

I hear that anti-geometrists are trying to get the pythagorean theorem banned in schools now.
