Can someone give an init.el wherein can start customize it?

Look at mine config, but it's dirty too so copy-pasting it is not a good 
idea. Here are things that can be copied from it:

- straight and use-package configuration

- orderless

- vertico

- doom-modeline

- three first lines with font, but you must install those two fonts if 
you want to use them

- variables at the beginning

- generally, whole beginning without maxima path and also you must 
correct some pathes

- dashboard, circadian, all-the-icons

- org-roam setup is harder so you can use my config but you need to read 
docs or watch tutorials first

- olivetti - must-have

- marginalia, all-the-icons completion, savehist

- that use-package emacs that I don't understand but was recommended 
with some minibuffer completion package or I don't remember

- I have strange meow setup with insert mode as default so you can 
experience sometimes both modes enabled with it (then you need to 
disable unwanted one, happens rarely) and my custom layout in layout map

- emojify

- minions for nice cog on modeline to set modes

- org-modern

- valign - great package for org tables

- some latex config I must clear and first of all learn latex :P

I do not think that we can help you much here.

Config highly depends on your personal preferences and choice of
packages. (That's the whole point!) We are unlikely to understand what
you really want to achieve just from seeing the code and your limited
explanations.

The best we can suggest is:
1. Start from small config and add things gradually, so that you can see
   if something is broken after specific addition.
2. Do not put things you do not understand. If you really want something
   and you do not understand how a code snippet from internet works, ask
   on reddit/mailing list/matrix room/IRC, or dig into Emacs/Elisp/Org
   manual for better explanations.
3. Leave commentary on why you put specific piece of code into your
   config and how the code works. It will be extremely (I repeat,
   extremely!) useful when you go back to examine the config in future.

Can someone give an init.el wherein can start customize it?

[Renato Pontefice]

Maybe I think my init.el is too dirty.
Can someone give me an init.el that I can use as base to customize (if I want) something that can works without correct the old one 

Thank you

Renato

I sugest not to learn that way.  I suggest you start with a clean
configuration file and add one line at a time.  Then, you will
understand each and every line you insert.  If you start with a giant
configuration, you will just replicate the configuration someone else
likes and you will take a long time to understand what is happening and
how to change what happens.  Anyway, it might work for you!

Re: Can someone give an init.el wherein can start customize it?

[Renato Pontefice]

Ok,, I can start from clean init.el, but I saw that emacs works also without init.el.
Do I have to create an emptying.el that I improve step by step?

If you want some extra things done, yu could do it using .emacs rather
than init.el.

As suggested, start with ~/.emacs .  I suggest to read the Emacs manual:
 C-h r .  I know it is very long and sometimes the words are not what is
usually.  But if some word is not clear, search the glossary.

Also, experiment more before asking.  You can develop more knowledge by
your own experimenting than by being spoonfed.  Document what happens
and re-read your writtings.

Emacs is a program which is not plug-and-play.  You must build your own
configuration to your taste, or else it will be like wearing someone
else's clothing (as I said befor).  So, it might be harder to learn
Emacs than other editors.  It will be something that requires reading a
lot.  But try speed reading the first time.  Then go through it with
more attention the next times.  Think of it as a constructive operation
of your tool.

I hope this helps you with your journey!

I strongly recommend you to go through some beginner videos explaining
Emacs configuration bit by bit.
