Alt text: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.

Now we need triangular windows that reshape in real time when you spin the monitor.

All of the screen elements should settle like sand in an hour glass, but using voxel physics in real time.

That's would be brilliant. I'm guessing the monitor stands aren't up for the extra usage they'll get, though...

Well monitor stands need to keep up

If we can make windows that can reshape themselves to a shape-shifting 4D monitor, Rami-chan will finally be able to run Linux.
