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.
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 ~~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.
They'll end up spending more time arguing about it than implementing it
