MATE ISO works like a boss. I noticed its using the faenza icons which
haven't been updated since 2010. Obsidian is based on faenza and was
updated 13 days ago.  It may be better to migrate if faenza style is what
you want, Obisdian is the new faenza.  All applications appear to work
well. No real issues other than Anaconda. Anaconda evidently has a
glitch/bug that when pressing F12 during install process, Anaconda crashes.
I went back and tested this on XFCE and it happens there as well so this
issue is just anaconda...
