This isn't the first time happening to me, and i dont know why but, there is no folders like Pictures, Videos etc. in my home folder. Most of the time reinstall helps, but why the hell is this happening?

It's a fresh install of i3, on Debian netinst (standard system utilities selected only).
I made the whole install with this:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
### installing packages
sudo apt install -f -y i3 suckless-tools xorg software-properties-common \
chromium fonts-font-awesome fonts-roboto devscripts \
file-roller pcmanfm leafpad pulseaudio pavucontrol \
alsa-utils gdebi neofetch clipit feh \
build-essential gtk2-engines-murrine gtk2-engines \
vim ranger caca-utils highlight atool w3m poppler-utils \
mediainfo compton python-pip libcanberra-gtk-module \
rxvt-unicode-256color curl wget apt-transport-https dirmngr \
numix-icon-theme scrot ristretto
### creating dirs
mkdir ~/.config/
mkdir ~/.themes/
mkdir ~/.fonts/
### configs
rsync -a .xinitrc ~/
rsync -a .Xresources ~/
rsync -a .config/ ~/.config/
#rsync -a .gtkrc-2.0 ~/
### wallpaper
sudo rsync -a wallpaper.png /usr/share/wallpapers/

It's happening because you refuse to read any documentation. Take it easy on the servers okay, it's shared resource.
you probably want the xdg-something package.

HOAS told you in the other thread that depending on how you used your xinitrc that it may or may not run the files in /etc/xdg/autostart
I would rather you do things the debian way first until you learn and break the rules later, but DO IT YOUR WAY.

But this problem was happening way before that already, without me modyfing anything.
I have "xdg-user-dirs" installed already.

yeah but you overwrote it's config with one of your rsync commands. If you would read some documentation you would benefit, seriously.
hmmm, btw thanks I just caught a permissions error cuz of this post.

The xdg-user-dirs package supplies /etc/X11/Xsession.d/60xdg-user-dirs-update which runs automatically if you don't have ~/.xinitrc
As you do have ~/.xinitrc, you need to add
To ~/.xinitrc
Or just run the command once to generate the directories and then forget all about it.

setting the x-window-manager alternative and using the default debian setup for running x windows would have likely eliminate a lot of the nonsense.
