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.

I’m using EndeavourOS with KDE.

The display is correctly oriented when logged in but it doesn’t rotate correctly when I’m logged out.

EDIT: corrected the post. This happens when logged out, locking the screen has it displayed correctly.

You just need to look at the problem from a different angle

From Archwiki > xrandr:

Tip: Both GDM and SDDM have startup scripts that are executed when X is initiated. For GDM, these are in /etc/gdm/, while for SDDM this is done at /usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup. This method requires root access and mucking around in system configuration files, but will take effect earlier in the startup process than using xprofile.

SDDM is still X11 based, no matter which desktop you run with it. I have tried enabling Wayland on it, but it's been... Unstable to say the least.

Put one hand on the top and one on bottom and rotate the screen by 90° or π/2 radians

If you have to read PDFs regularly having a vertical monitor is a lifesaver.

The command is

swaymsg output DP-2 transform 90

Your screen on the left appears to be rotated vertically, rotate it 90 degrees clockwise and it should be better.

That's not the point here but can you share your wallpaper? 😄

I can't remember where I found it, but here it is. I thought it might be from here (I've used these previously) but it is not.
