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.
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.
Technically that’s compositor level stuff, and it probably can even treat it like an actual diagonal display and prevent windows from going there and everything.
This is a good example of why some of the protocols are taking so long. Once finalized, it’ll probably somehow also be capable of handling… that.
With an accelerometer and a compositor written for that can probably even keep it level in real time. Tilt monitor and windows rotate to match automatically.
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.

Doesn’t need a protocol, just compositor support. Unless you want windows to be aware of being rendered at an angle, that is.
Also I do wonder how broken that stuff is under X as the WM protocols that I remember definitely assumed axis-aligned monitor and windows.
They’ll end up spending more time arguing about it than implementing it
As is tradition.

Yeah but, will antialiasing be noticeable?
I actually think I’d notice quite quickly as all horizontal and vertical lines would be slightly jagged.
Don’t you run with at least 8xAA in the desktop??
