"If you log in in text mode then start a GUI session with xinit or with the wrapper script startx, then xinit does the following things:

Start an X server (typically through the script /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc).
Usually run some scripts in /etc/X11 (typically /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc), depending on how it's set up.
Run ~/.xinitrc, if it exists. If it doesn't exist, run a default client (traditionally xterm).
Once ~/.xinitrc terminates, kill the X server.

If you log in in graphical mode on an X display manager (xdm, gdm, kdm, wdm, lightdm, …), traditionally, what is executed after you log in is some scripts in /etc/X11 then ~/.xsession.

Instructions to Update the BIOS/UEFI for an HP Laptop on Linux

To update the BIOS/UEFI firmware requires HP-specific files in the EFI System Partition, also referred to as ESP.

On a Linux system, the ESP is typically mounted on /boot/efi or /efi. Whithin you should also find a EFI directory, e.g. /boot/efi/EFI or /efi/EFI. This article assumes that the ESP is mounted on /efi and that the /efi/EFI directory exists. You can replace that with the mount point your system uses.

The HP-specific files are located in /efi/EFI/HP or /efi/EFI/Hewlet-Packard. These files typically come preinstalled in HP Windows PCs. If you have these files you could skip Install HP-specific files.
