I do wonder from time to time why Elementary can’t be an installable package rather than an OS...

It is:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:elementary-os/stable && sudo apt install elementary-desktop

Then, select elementary when you log in.

This did not work to me - I just got kicked back to the login screen. It changed my background picture though :)

Also tried running eOS in VirtualBox - after installing and reboot all I get is a black screen. I can get the live version running though, so not great, not terrible!

It is. On Fedora you can do

    sudo dnf group install 'pantheon desktop'
