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

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.
