From Distrowatch it appears that Buster/testing has a 4.9.82 kernel, which is not recent enough for a Ryzen 7 2700U. Am I wrong?

Thank you to all of you for your help. I will try to install it now, and if I will succeed I will write an answer to the question I put on StackOverflow:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/question … stable-rel
Feel free to comment there, too.

@golinux: Thank you for the link. Just wondering why it is not advertised on the website.
- What do you mean with "It is advised to never use the Debian repos directly. Could cause much grief at some point."?
Should I not use their ISOs?
- Should I install mini.iso on a USB stick and boot from there?

It is possible to install Devuan stable (ASCII) and then, editing `/etc/apt/sources.list`, upgrade to Ceres.
However on my laptop I have an AMD Ryzen 7 2700U processor, which does not support Linux kernels before 4.10, so I just cannot install the stable versions (kernel 4.9) to start from.
So far I have not been able to find a Ceres `ISO` anywhere. Would you be so kind to add it to your repository? It does not matter if it is a development version that keeps changing. Just update it once a month.
Without it I am stuck. I will never be able to install Devuan on my system, until you provide a stable version with a kernel newer that 4.10.
Thank you for your help.
