Is there a way to launch graphical programs through the shell? I don't mean opening a terminal in your DE/WM but rather running without a gui but then starting a seperate gui just for graphical programs

then you can just start an xserver (X11 or x.org), i think wayland comes with a window manager integrated... so i guess not what you want. you might also consider tiling window managers like rat or something similar, i could imagine those right up your alley (if you want to multitask)
