The Debian Way ™ is to rotate the building around your suspended desk or
laptop, while remaining on the floor. Since we are running Ubuntu, the

sudo dpkg-reconfigure gravitation

With apologies to the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry (or whatever
they're called this year) - the link to their website was too long and
