Can I rotate my starting hex however I like during setup?

No — place your home hex as shown in the Starting Layouts diagram for your player count, with its orientation matching the diagram. The official FAQ spells this out. Choosing a spot is up to you, but not the rotation, which keeps starting positions balanced and stops players connecting on turn one.
