For many years we have been used to using monitors in a certain way, more precisely in certain positions: horizontal or vertical. The former is the most commonly chosen solution for obvious reasons. People who choose a vertical monitor orientation typically do so for better document readability. However, we’re not stuck with just two predefined options – at least not on Linux.
Linux is the only operating system that offers us support for practically every monitor mode. If we want to rotate the structure and the entire interface by 30 degrees, we will not encounter any problem. The situation is different with Windows and macOS.
Fedora Asahi Remix – Linux distribution officially available for MacBooks and other Apple devices with Apple Silicon chips
The tool responsible for configuring the monitor under Linux is xrandr. Here we change the tilt angle of the entire interface to virtually any value. In Windows and macOS we are forced to rotate every 90 degrees, but in this case we determine the appropriate angle. It turns out that for programming and an ultra-wide monitor, the best value is 22 degrees. However, our options are of course truly unlimited and we can easily set certain parameters.
Fedora 39 – the new version of the popular Linux distribution is officially available. This brings out an alternative edition of Fedora Onyx
We can use xrandr from the console by entering the corresponding command. For your convenience, you can find a calculator for this tool on this website, where you just need to enter the desired angle of inclination and other parameters. This will immediately give us the complete command, which we just have to copy and execute. Below we can also see what the smartphone interface might look like if we rotate it a bit. The possible uses of such a solution are diverse – it all depends on our personal preferences.
