How to test Wayland from a live USB? (Ubuntu/Kubuntu) (lemmy.ca)

Does anyone know how to test a Wayland session with a Kubuntu 24.04 live USB? I'm testing it out now, but I see that it's using an X11 session. I'd like to test how the laptop would work under Wayland instead, before installing Kubuntu or Ubuntu for good.

Some web search lead to this post, which gives quite involved instructions but it's from 2020. Hopefully it's more straightforward now?

Cheers!

Indeed that worked, thank you!. It was good to try; turns out Wayland doesn't support my touch/pen-screen, so I'll keep X11.
