TLDR; I haven't being able to make ~/.xinitrc being read at any moment. Not even if i edit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc. I used to have i3wm so i really didn't use ~/.xinitrc at all i just made programs ran editing i3's config file. I tried editing my ~/.xinitrc but the file just wasn't being read. Now i uninstalled i3wm hoping to use dwm but after executing dwm from my xinitrc file it just wasn't working, whenever i execute startx i just get my terminal (urxvt) displayed awefully, even though i executed dwm from the xinitrc. Now i workaround this issue with this command startx /usr/local/bin/dwm which works well. I also noticed that i didn't have .xsession file i think i deleted all .x files when i was using i3wm. Any ideas how can i get my xinitrc file to be read when starting X? Thanks for reading. This is my xinitrc file.
#!/bin/sh

# /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
#
# global xinitrc file, used by all X sessions started by xinit (startx)

# invoke global X session script
. /etc/X11/Xsession
