[SOLVED] i3-wm isn't starting with personal config - X11 Errors

I have a i3 config and I'm able to launch i3, but something is failing and resulting i3 to default to the base config. I've gathered the i3 config logs, and the only errors/warnings are about X11 failing on some sequence. I've never seen this before, and I'm not too sure what is occurring.

Logs:
07/25/2023 09:37:15 PM - ../src/main.c:xcb_prepare_cb:141 - X11 Error received (probably harmless)! sequence 0x1efa, error_code = 3
07/25/2023 09:37:15 PM - ../src/main.c:xcb_prepare_cb:141 - X11 Error received (probably harmless)! sequence 0x1efb, error_code = 3
07/25/2023 09:37:15 PM - ../src/main.c:xcb_prepare_cb:141 - X11 Error received (probably harmless)! sequence 0x1efc, error_code = 3
07/25/2023 09:37:15 PM - ../src/main.c:xcb_prepare_cb:141 - X11 Error received (probably harmless)! sequence 0x1efd, error_code = 3
07/25/2023 09:37:15 PM - ../src/main.c:xcb_prepare_cb:138 - Expected X11 Error received for sequence 1efe
07/25/2023 09:37:15 PM - ../src/main.c:xcb_prepare_cb:138 - Expected X11 Error received for sequence 1eff
07/25/2023 09:37:15 PM - ../src/main.c:xcb_prepare_cb:141 - X11 Error received (probably harmless)! sequence 0x1f00, error_code = 3
07/25/2023 09:37:15 PM - ../src/main.c:xcb_prepare_cb:141 - X11 Error received (probably harmless)! sequence 0x1f01, error_code = 3

Any idea where to start troubleshooting this X11 problem?

Online the only thing I saw online was to delete ~/.Xauthority and reboot. That didn't result in any different behavior.

This same config worked fine on a previous machine. I have even tried cutting down a lot of the person exec lines so it's pretty mild in terms of what's occurring in the config.

Have you confirmed that the user config is actually relevant?  If it is removed / empty does the problem go away?  If so, post the full content of the config.

It was just an issue on my part. My symlinked config wasn't set up properly, so my changes weren't being taken into affect.
