From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This doesn't work on Wayland lol
Based, X forever staying relevant.
Time to update "Are we Wayland yet?" With this breaking lack of feature support.
Have you tried it? There is wlrandr, and at least according to how the command line looks, it could be supported.
Are you talking about wlr-randr? Because its
--transformargument only acceptsnormal|90|180|270|flipped|flipped-90|flipped-180|flipped-270, not any transformation matrix. Maybe its just a limitation of the command line tool and it could be modified, I don't know, I haven't been too deep in the code or the protocol specifications. It also looks like it only works with wlroots based compositor.Have you?
well expecting to use a tool made for X on Wayland is expecting a boat paddle to move a car.
