How to automatically boot into desktop mode

Question

I accidentally selected the option of booting to terminal during the initial configuration, now I have to type startx to get the desktop environment, how can I get it to boot to desktop GUI automatically?

@IRO-bot Although I see your point, the question and correct answer are the reverse. — Jivings, Mar 29 '13 at 17:19

Open up a terminal and type:

 $ sudo raspi-config

This is a duplicate question, see full answer here: Boot without starting X-server

Please forgive my ignorance. How is disabling the x-server going to help boot to desktop? Isn't x-server needed for it? – Ansis Māliņš May 18 '17 at 17:28
