[Please don't top-post]

startx dates from the early days of X11. I'm sure some people still
find a use for it, but the usual setup just boots into the X
environment, normally via a desktop manager. Did you try just
rebooting?


ya, but i'm still interested to run X while still being in multi-user.target instead of graphical, surely there is a way to do that still isn't there?
