So init 1 is synonymous with the rescue target in systemd terms (see man systemd.special) If you look at what is available at that level it does not surprise me that startx doesn't work. Carrying out init 5 is synonymous with systemctl isolate graphical.target (the old runlevel 5 translating to the graphical target in systemd terms) Related to this the old init 3 is roughly equivalent to systemctl isolate multi-user.target I say roughly equal as targets and isolate is far more precise, powerful and capable than the old init levels and the symlinks that run to Kill or Start services so behaviour from days of yore may differ slightly ... It would be useful if you are seeing issues transitioning from one target to another to get the journal from the attempts to do so.
