@jackalpret Sorry, but it was not clear if you answered what I asked:

cp /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ~/.xinitrc

Did you do this initial procedure?
Have you tried adding your configuration manually to the .xinitrc file?

It's really no use comparing Batocera with Recalbox, they are different systems, and different teams.
What you can do is contact the developers and request these features ...
