I prefer X too.
Same here, though the games I run use DXVK to talk to the Vulkan
API on NVidia's Linux driver. (I think X is only minimally-involved
there.)
BTW: It's not "X Window" it's "the X Window System", or just "X".
Sometimes, people call it "X Windows", but I've never
seen "X Window" unless discussing an actual window on X.
