Rather than make use of the hacking of a
startx
command into a .xinitrc
file, it's probably better to tell Systemd that you want to boot into a graphical GUI vs. the terminal.To accomplish this simply do the following:
Then simply reboot.
The last bit will associate the runlevel 5 target as your default with respect to Systemd.

Doing it with Systemd
You can also use Systemd to accomplish this. This is arguably the better method since you're managing the state of the system directly through Systemd and its CLIs.
You can see what your current default target is:
And then change it to graphical:
Targets
In Systemd the targets runlevel5.target and graphical.target are identical. So too are runlevel2.target and multi-user.target.
