When x11 session starts which files are running.

I have seen some pages in arch docs but got confused. I would appreciate a "read these to understand" list. I want to know how my linux enviroment starts and how everything it uses (for example deamons) get started.

"The way you set it up."

There's no generic answer to that question, but it largely hinges on what starts the session (eg. xinit/startx or some DM)
For "daemons" it depends what you mean by that, but mostly https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Systemd
