I would love to find an .xinitrc in some dark corner of windows 10 where there are a bunch of options commented out and you have to pick the right ones or else your monitor explodes.

This would be an upgrade as at least I would kinda trust that a file I found on my own system from the vendor can probably be trusted. I trust the options would be at least mostly self documenting (more self documenting than a random list of hex digits). And, if I'm going to use software written in the 90s, I'm going to go with good old vim.

I love vim, but that .xinitrc stuff is really out of date by now. Gnome 3 now uses Wayland fairly well and the setup is done with the GUI app Tweaks and the system settings.
