In a perfect world but Wayland wasn’t ready. Xwayland is for running x11 based apps, not desktop environments. If you use Plasma or Gnome (and perhaps one or two others) you may be set but there are still desktops that require x11. I’m not sure why Bobby mentions only Cinnamon as the last holdout as XFCE is arguably as popular and it’s not as if Mate’ is unused.

X11 is unsafe to even use with its security issues and should have disappeared years ago.
