Graphics acceleration is buggy with gnome & XFCE. I wouldn't enable it if you want to try them. If you want to test it, weston, the reference Wayland compositor is your best choice. It doesn't offer much in the way of a desktop though, just a clock & terminal.
quoting nevent1q…6nk4It is still a bit too alpha 😂 I'm going to wait for a bit before I try much more. It's a good start, but still needs some work before it will be usable. Fun to toy around with if you have an extra pixel.
I couldn't get phosh running on the available Debian in my limited testing. I may try adding the sid repositories and see if I can set up app pinning to pull in some more recent packages, but that will have to wait. I would attempt compiling from source, but I've already compiled some other software and I'm worried my old 6a will light on fire if I try this 📱🔥
Gnome and XFCE both did run, with bugs and no hardware acceleration. Weston works well, but is more of a testing environment, not actually usable.

quoting nevent1q…veepBtw, you may not be using GPU acceleration, if you want to use that then:
In the profile you installed the VM, make a directory in the home directory of the profile named 'linux' and a blank file named 'virglrenderer' to try it out. this will cause a toast to appear showing VirGL is enabled when launching the Terminal app AFTER force stopping it
run " chromium --ozone-platform=wayland "and then go to chrome://gpu to see you're using the GPU. Should have a performance boost?
The virgl server also likely isn't needed and that's just for running a server in the host OS.
