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 --transform argument only accepts normal|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.
