Can I run some Linux desktop with Wayland in a VM on my Ubuntu 22.04 xorg desktop, so I can test Wayland? In qemu or something? Or does wayland not work in VMs? If I can, which should I use? I've been asked to make Pick, the colour-picking app, work with Wayland, so I'd like to investigate to see how hard that'd be. But I'm not switching my main computer to Wayland myself :)

@sil "Switching your main computer", like it's a big complicated operation? I'm surprised Ubuntu doesn't let you choose each time you log in.

@mavit it does in 23.04. I don't know if it does in 22.04, and I'm using XFCE rather than Gnome or KDE, and I don't know whether that has a Wayland compositor at all...
