Where to get the working .xinitrc for Plasma?

I installed manually, but even a template file along the path /etc/x11/xinit is not.
Where to get this so that everything works on Plasma? And why is it not in Arch?

Is not what?  If it's not there, it'd be because you haven't followed the wiki yet:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xinit

And if you want everything to work on plasma, you probably should use wayland not X11.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xinit

I looked here first and repeat that the file does not exist along this path.
it is a command
cp/etc/x11/xinit/xinitrc ~/.xinitrc
not performed.

Re: Where to get the working .xinitrc for Plasma?

1) You're obviously struggling with the English language, which makes your posts hard to understand for others. Consider using a translation tool like deepl as linked by @Seth.
2) @Seth requests you to post the output of the respective command.

Furthermore:
- The path you posted is wrong. Unixoid filesystems are case-sensitive. The wiki states "/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc" and not "/etc/x11/xinit/xinitrc".
- The wiki also implicitly states which package provides that file and that you must install it *before* the cp command.

$ pacman -Qo /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc is owned by xorg-xinit 1.4.2-2
$

Install xorg-xinit to get the file .
