Twitter post by Daniel Feldman (@d_feldman): Linux is the only major operating system to support diagonal mode (credit [Twitter] @xssfox).

It’s a novelty. I for one deeply love unusually shaped monitors and UXs.
Could be useful for an interactive art installation or something alike.
in case you use a pear phone as a daily driver
Possibly to run those strangely shaped outdoor billboard signs
I thought it was surely just a joke but looking at the devices to the right maybe this was due to limited desk space?
It could be useful if you live in a submarine that is always emerging/submerging.
4th nerve palsy posse has been asking for this for years.
It’s not about why. It’s about the freedom to do.
