I usually start Xorg using startx from a console (in multi-user target, aka runlevel 3) and a simple ~/.xinitrc file that initializes a few things before starting the i3 Window Manager. This is not the recommeded way to start Xorg but it works fine. But this post is not about that.
Recently, I wanted to use the standard login method with SDDM, so I naturally switched to graphical target. When I logged in with the SDDM greeter, whatever the session I chose (Plasma, i3, twm), my session started with i3, exactly as if my ~ /.xinitrc config was executed. After a brief WTF, I concluded that SDDM called my ~/.xinitrc for all sessions, for some reason (this was unexpected).
So it was a good excuse to dig deeper to understand exactly how SDDM starts a session (something I wanted to do for a long time) and why it called ~/.xinitrc.
Thanks. Keeping this post for reference :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
