No problem, there is a tradition on this forum that great posts get duplicated.

Yours got quadrupled, that's quite an achievement.

I would guess that the reboot did settle the login problem, not i3.

no, before that I spent 3 hours looking for a solution to the problem on the Internet and rebooted many times

If not rebooting, then maybe some extra updating while installing/uninstalling i3 helped. Config files were also probably rewritten in the process, possibly correcting the original problem.

Yes, I think so. trisquel did not configure configs for X and other components in any way, which i3 probably did. I think this nuance should definitely be added to the xfce installation guide, perhaps come up with a more elegant way to solve this problem
