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.

    The clients do not care what implementation of the specification is being used.
    Let me give you an analogy, say multiple people are making a sandwich, they could be making the sandwich in various ways, doing certain steps in different orders & at different speeds conducive to them and their environment, as long as the client gets the sandwich they asked for, it does not matter who and how the sandwich was made.
    Infact, this is shown by the proof of concept of the upcoming compositor-handoff feature where you can hot swap your compositor and bring your clients straight over with their state completely preserved.
    This is one of the many strengths of Wayland’s design, it allows for a lot of flexibility in implementation while preserving the underlying communication standard between the server/compositor and the clients.

      Thanks for the info. That makes a lot of sense. You’re giving me a lot of good info for what to do the next time I have a block of time to play around with something like this.
