Share tips on ricing. Here is how you starting X without a display manager or login manager:
You add stuff to ~/.xinitrc that you want to start immediately on boot, things like DEs, WMs, and DMs. ~/.xinitrc is an rc file that gets loaded when you call startx. So if you want startx to load a certain DE/WM you put that in the config. However you can ignore the config and instead use a DM which is like a GUI login screen. However xinitrc isn't called by default. If you add a line in your .bash_profile and you don't have a DM, upon boot, you should be prompted for you username and password. After entering them, xinitrc takes over and starts your DE and/or WM. Putting that line in your bash_profile (*profile) file simply calls startx if it's not already started when you start your login shell. You could ignore that and just type startx after login if you want.
You can make bash_login call xinitrc with
[[ -z $DISPLAY && $XDG_VTNR -eq 1 ]] && exec startx
In your bash_profile. THEN xinitrc gets called after you log in because of that line.
Put a line at the bottom of ~/.xinitrc that says
exec <whatever>
for example i3 and that launches it. Then in your .bash_profile put
[[ -z $DISPLAY && $XDG_VTNR -eq 1 ]] && exec startx

Meant the issue file. For those who don't know what that is, here is what man issue says:
"The file /etc/issue is a text file which contains a message or system identification to be printed before the login prompt".
You can also have ascii dispayed at login if you cat to a file in your bash_profile or bashrc.
