How to fix the incorrect orientation of screen autorotate via systemd and iio-sensor-proxy

Hello dear Linux enthusiasts!

I switched all my devices to linux (yes, it works perfectly fine for gaming) but my old tablet remained.

The Fedora 41 Spin with KDE Plasma Mobile worked shockingly well (for linux on touch devices) but the autorotate was off/broken.

The linked blog post (tries) to show how I came up with a fix and I want your opinion what could be made better / clearer in my writeup. Its a balance act between explanation of what I deemed necessary for a (somewhat) technical user and not repeating entire subjects that are well explained elsewhere.

My goal was to provide a rough orientation that I would have found useful on the subject.

    I have been looking into how to do this. I wish it wasn’t complicated. Both my legion go and SZBOX JX5 have the auto rotate off 90 degrees. It’s really annoying.
