I'd like to try Asahi on a VM, does anyone know if that can be done nowadays?
No if I am not mistaken, simply because the only thing that distinguishes asahi from mainline Linux is the hardware support. Through a VM you don’t have that weird hardware, so it just probably behaves as Linux on a VM
As far as I can tell, no.
However, I installed it on my M2 Air last weekend to give it a spin, decided it’s not ready enough for a Linux novice such as myself, and uninstalled it all pretty easily. It doesn’t mess with your macOS install at all. The only thing you need to be careful with is deleting the correct partitions.
I installed three times. The first, I didn’t give Asahi enough drive space to be all that useful. The second time I decided that I wanted to try KDE instead of Gnome. Those two uninstalls went without a hitch.
The third uninstall, however, I must have been careless, because I had to reinstall macOS through deleting a wrong partition. It wasn’t a huge issue for me, but it’s possible to do.
Mr Macintosh’ video on uninstalling it is spot on - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMnWTq2H-N0&
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
You need to find an image to install, but I think there shouldn’t be any technical issues beyond that
It's just Fedora with GNOME or Plasma, install that on a VM and it's the same thing.
