I just recently indtalled Arch and ive seen 2 different ways to start a desktop enviroment from the .xinitrc file. Im currently using xfce4 for my desktop enviro.
The 2 methods:
1. Create a new .xinitrc file by touch comand and using nano edit it and type
Exec xfce4-session
2. Cp /etc/X11/xinit/.xinitrc /home/user
And edit this copy of the pre exisitng .xinitrc file by delting last fe lines and replacing with
Exec xfce4-session
Both methods seem to work but which is best?
