So I finally have had a chance to try and test the xfce iso. Unfortunately it seems to keep crashing. I'm not really able to do any testing on it as it's not completely booting. Hopefully this video will explain better. Sorry if it's poor quality.
Anyways, I gave it 4G ram (out of 12G) and 2 cpu cores (out of 4).
Here's inxi
