What my screens look like when in the KDE desktop
SUMMARY
Today when I booted up (I think from sleep mode) my secondary monitor was
rotated the wrong way, kind of. It was set to portrait mode, but when I booted
up it was in portrait mode but flipped and scaled to be in landscape mode
resulting in a squished and useless desktop space.
I tried to rotate to landscape and rotate back with the settings menu but it
didn't change anything (landscape mode looked normal). So I tried to use the
command line to rotate it (`kscreen-doctor output.2.rotation.right`), but it
rotated my main screen and now that one is stuck in landscape-portrait wacko
mode too. As it stands the system is borked because both screens are rendering
wrong and the mouse is now stuck in the second monitor. I tried `kscreen-doctor
output.1.rotation.right` just for fun, but it also did nothing.
I don't remember making any changes recently. I did enable and disable kwin
scripts to try out tiling, but that was more than 4 cycles ago.
I'm not sure how or if it's related, but I switched back to Ubuntu's default
GNOME desktop and I can't load any games from steam now, if it does load it's
incredibly laggy.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install KDE-Desktop on Ubuntu system
2. Install and enable/disable Kwin scripts
3. reboot and then wake from sleep
4. Use `kscreen-doctor` to rotate monitors
*Not sure if this will work to reproduce, since I don't really know what
exactly happened.
OBSERVED RESULT
Secondary monitor set to portrait made was forced into landscape mode with
portrait parameters remaining. When rotating main monitor (accidentally, as
kscreen has it as output 2) which is naturally in landscape, result is the same
squished resolution and cannot be rotated back (`kscreen-doctor
output.2.rotation.left` does nothing).
EXPECTED RESULT
Secondary monitor is set to portrait mode properly, all monitors are able to be
rotateted without being stuck with weird outputs.

borked and I cannot load any videogames I chose major.
