   Ubuntu Cinnamon is an official flavour - nothing more.

   True, but LTS isn't better because it has longer support.

   The cinnamon desktop is part of Ubuntu for years.   
   They now only provide an ISO image with cinnamon preinstalled.

   The OS is still Ubuntu - just another desktop is preinstalled.   
   They should use the Ubuntu forums.

   Then ask in Usenet, they cannot ban you.

   The virtualization technology usually supports any Linux distribution.

   WSL is very limited and different, don't expect it works the same as   
   Ubuntu.
