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.

Peak evil - well done. How much is the extra fee to wrap a letterbox around the circle on a conventional aspect ratio?

There's good money in this idea!

Personally I went for the globe display, because I figured that was a more globally applicable format.
