This is why I specified "low-level" in the original post; I do know how to set the rotation within Plasma and such already. What I'm after is a way to make as much of the system as possible see the screen as a horizontal-format display from the start, rather than having to convince several different components of what the orientation should be.
I have my TTY going horizontal properly by adding fbcon=rotate:1 to my kernel parameters. That still doesn't affect Wayland's default orientation, but it's a start. I don't know enough about how displays work to know if what I really want is possible or not, but if it is, I'd still love to be able to set the rotation more permanently. As I said above, I'm not particularly interested in using auto-rotation or GUI-specific rotation settings.
