I've experimented with this before. If you're only interested in CLI stuff. (e.g. my dictword-test tool), you can use proot and the base fs from fs.tgz in the recovery partition with the upgrade extracted over it. For a full system, you'd need to emulate the NTX hardware and the e-ink screen at the minimum. That might be doable with FUSE (you'll need to handle ioctls too), but it might be easier in QEMU. Either way, that will be quite a bit of work. I'm not planning on pursuing this further myself.
