There is a new pull request by leahneukirchen against master on the void-packages repository https://github.com/leahneukirchen/void-packages xinit https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/36097 xinit: remove skel files. We shipped two skeleton files for ~/.xinitrc and ~/.xsession, but the default behavior of xinit/startx is more useful than an .xinitrc that doesn't start a window manager, and the .xsession had a bug calling bash -i which resulted in appending the .xinitrc into the user history... drop this unnecessary stuff. Users can copy /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc as a starting point. A patch file from https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/36097.patch is attached
