:::If we could get edge-to-edge displays, hexagonal panels with a spherical radius will be the next big thing for battle stations.
(By spherical, I mean its curved so it can be tiled into a sphere.)
That feature has always been annoying to me, even on phones. I always turn it off because "I" will control whether my screen rotates or not. Maybe sometimes I don't want it to rotate when I turn the phone (like when I'm viewing building plans at work and want to orient the screen with how I'm looking at the building I'm standing in).
Not sure how standard this is, but on Pixel phones the default is no auto rotation, but when the phone detects rotation it will display a tiny rotate button in the corner of the screen for just a few seconds. Best of both worlds IMO.
On stock Android and Samsung, the default is auto rotation, but when I turn it off, exactly that happens. That's why I turn it off.
That rotate button is incredibly annoying. I turned off auto-rotate for a reason and the button obscures other information displayed in that corner of the screen. Wish I could turn the button off too.
There is no navigation bar on the Pixel 8. It uses some sort of gesture-based system instead.
It’s still a navigation bar it’s just transparent. If there’s important information down there that can get blocked by it then the developers of the app did something wrong.
It is simply the bottom of the app window. There is nothing app-specific to this behaviour, lots of apps show information in the lower 20-30 pixels of their window.
Any time some obscure Linux feature is mentioned I see this xkcd comic in my mind: https://xkcd.com/619/
I've got two vertical monitors on either side of my one large horizontal monitor right now and I am loving it
You failed with the image, though. The screen image isn't supposed to rotate with the display.
