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 :)
