Thanks in advance

I think you should be able to do this in config.txt by adding lcd_rotate=1 (or 2 or 3, depending on how much rotation you need), See https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt/video.md. You will also need to configure the rotation in each OS installed by PINN, as each OS is independent.

is there no way to "send" the rotation over to the os so you dont have to do it on all os´s individually?

There is no consistent way of setting the rotation on all OSes. They could use legacy video drivers, fkms, kms, LCD or some other way of defining the rotation. Not everyone may want the same rotation on each OS.

You could possibly do this if you cloned the OSes you wanted to install and modified either the tarballs or the partition_setup.sh file, but it's not an ideal solution. OS "flavours" may possibly be an avenue to explore.
