Edit; On a flash drive and KDE works fine. Tried to log out and log in with a different desktop several times and it crashes each time. Created new user and was able get a log in screeen, choose Cinnamon and it crashed.

3.5 is also impossible to log in and out of. Crashes every time. Perhaps it`s a bridge to far to try and run these iso`s as live cd`s? Install only.

I am understanding of your frustration and I too have no clue why Cinnamon keeps getting put on Ultimate Edition. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but it always stops working.

Personally though, I am pretty specific on not exactly caring how well an O.S. runs in virtual, at least for review because it won't always work the same as an actual install to a hard drive.

With Flash, if you are referencing installing to SD or USB, etc.., it will definitely NOT work the same as an actual install no matter how awesome you are. For personal use and if you know what you are doing and know you will run into limitations and issues it is fine. This is not Puppy Linux or DSL.

Basically if you are not going to do an actual install to a hard drive your experiences will not be the same as someone who did, so your input is pretty much void and worthless even if it is correct. It's already hard enough to get these things going in a proper way with various hardware, drivers, and especially graphics cards, having the Flash wild card thrown in as well is unnecessary and pointless, especially considering that you can get dramatically different results from what Flash you were using on it's own. If you really want to understand what I am talking about go and pick up a Raspberry Pi and try using different quality SD cards, you will notice dramatic differences. So you saying, I flashed this and it didn't work has no value for anyone including yourself.
