I cannot get a desktop wallpaper to stretch there seems to be no options for this.

I believe the only 'stretch' option on most Gnome desktops these days is 'Zoom'

On Zorin 12 I assume? I couldn't find a setting for this either when just using settings>backgound but if you install Gnome Tweak Tool it has options for this, select Desktop on the left hand side of the tweak tool and you should find what your after.

Reminds me of that T shirt slogan "bomb disposal technician, if you see me running try and keep up"
You could try 'persistence' mode or a VM but you already know that.
I reinstalled (on test PC) 12 core the other day, promptly broke it then 12 Ultimate so it was still fresh (haven't got around to breaking it yet) for me to test the above setting as my memory is shot also.
