> Currently macOS only allows 90-degree rotation increments.

Windows has supported landscape/portrait switching since forever, I think it was already there in windows XP almost two decades ago, if not it was in 7 for sure (and it's in 10 since I use it right now).

Landscape-portrait switch _is_ 90-degree. Parent poster is pointing out that this OS supports finer grained orientation rotations.

True though this may be, the quoted parent did not say "only macOS allows". They're asserting that on macOS, the only available options are in 90-degree increments.

Allowing portrait is exactly what 90 degree rotation means.

I wasn't trying to make a comparison to Windows, or start an OS war. I'm not sure why you even brought up Windows, since this discussion is about HelenOS.

But for what it's worth, Macs have supported portrait mode since 1989†, back when Microsoft was still pushing Windows 2.

My bad, for some reason I read "only macOS" instead of "macOS only"
