Coming from Debian, I've noted that each of their install paths (netinstall, KDE live, DVD) produce very different results.
And, I have found that only the "netinstall" path has produced a reliable, consistently working installation.

I would like to help reduce the friction and pain points of a providing a successful and fully functional installation of Devuan 7 KDE/SonicDE.
    Debian is roughly eight months from its typical two year release cycle.
Becoming gradually acclimated and situated now seems like enough lead time for me to be of some assistance to Devuan 7's launch.
     (I'm not acquainted with the other DEs.)

If I should find that some portions of testing present a technical skill gap that I cannot grasp, I will be kindly straight-forward about it; and I will assist where I can.

Question: Is Devuan considering shipping KDE Plasma 6.7.6 (for X11) and/or SonicDE ?
I would like to see both offerings be successful during this time of KDE's transition away from X11, and of SonicDE's nascent beginnings.

And I have plenty of DDR5 for a suitable ram disk, for repeatedly downloading and testing installations (without wearing out an SDD).
I don't have enough spare hardware to do a variety of bare-metal installs. But I am willing to set aside one Dell laptop for vetting out wifi, bluetooth, and other "portable" nuances.

P.S. I saw golinux's plea for volunteers, and I totally get it. (pls, point/steer me in the right direction.)
