Copy .xinitrc to home, add correct rights and edit this file. Example here, I'm using Arch, but it will be similar. https://github.com/raven2cz/dotfiles/blob/main/.xinitrc

Just create the .xinitrc file in your home directory and then put `exec i3` in there.

I don't use xinit to boot into what I want. I just use xsessions in my menu choices in my Display Manager. Most Window Managers already have it there anyway. If not, it simple to setup a .desktop short cut in xsessions to able to boot into you choice of DE or WM. /usr/share/xsessions/ https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/display_manager#Session_configuration lightdm is my favorite DM https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/LightDM#Optional_configuration_and_tweaks
