from what I understand (but I am not familiar with nor have never tried all of this):

- with X, you launch X with startx that is set up via .xinitrc and/or .xsession to suit your goals

- with Wayland, instead, you launch a compositor (a window-manager that implements the Wayland protocol, sort of). You have the choice of the compositor ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_display_servers#Wayland ).
So how you set up and launch the compositor depends on the compositor chosen , I imagine (cf respective manpages).
 And if you want to execute pure X applications that are not Wayland compatible, you must first launch Xwayland ( https://wiki.debian.org/Wayland#Xwayland )

(as always, if what I say is wrong or inaccurate and someone can correct or precise it, please do)
