Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    You know how sometimes old documents would reuse paper by turning it sideways and writing perpendicularly on top of the old writing? Let's make a window manager that does that, overlap the contents of all your windows at different angles

    It’s surprisingly possible (and easy) too… a little bit of tinkering with X11’s compositor API would probably do the trick.

    IDK about Wayland tho :/

    You could do it in Wayland, too, it's just that every single Wayland app would have to re-implement the rotation and rendering themselves.

    Wayfire seems perfectly capable of rotating apps without them being aware of it

    It could tilt them out of the viewport, leaving just a corner in, like weird minimizing
