- Spivak 7y agoYes and no. - Apps which use toolkits like GTK and QT will “just work” since they did the porting grunt work. - X11 apps can run unmodified using XWayland but this just runs an X.org server and directs the output. But the literal answer is “no”. Wayland and X11 are incompatible and apps will need to port.
