Unable to change from xfce to another window manager

Hi, I'm very new to linux, so this might be obvious, but I followed your wiki tutorial and installed archcraft. I have czech keyboard, otherwise everything is US locale. When I install and log into any other wm (i3, dwm,...) than xfce, my Lenovo Ideapad L340 just freezes and I have to manually restart it. I am unable to do anything other than move mouse at this stage. The only thing I did after installation is change my keybindings to this:

  1. Added swap.desktop to /etc/xdg/autostart
  2. Added these bindings
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Swap
Exec=xmodmap /etc/xdg/autostart/keyboard-layout.txt
Terminal=false
Type=Application

--- etc/xdg/autostart/keyboard-layout.txt file
remove lock = Caps_Lock
keycode 66 = BackSpace
keycode 49 = semicolon degree asciitilde asciitilde asciitilde asciitilde asciitilde asciitilde
keycode 21 = acute 0xfe5a grave grave grave grave grave

Also, I feel like my Windows key stoped working for some reason.

Edit: I solved this by using more user friendly distro, because I don't have the skillset to resolve issues like this
