FWIW, the Framework 13 mainboard runs X11 just fine. (I have the Ryzen 7040 running lxqt, which is X11 only.) You can run those "stand alone" if you really wanted.
I do kinda worry at what point app makers decide "Nope, we're gonna do only Wayland now!" and I've got to scramble to figure out how to deal with that nightmare, but I'm guessing it's still a ways off.
