Buster, after making sure buster was up to date and clean I added sid 
sources and installed anything that was a new package or upgrade package 
with the name linux and then removed the sid sources, clean and upgraded 
I rebooted to the 4.15 kernel with no problem, ran the 
spectre-meltdown-checker and was not vulnerable.

The AMD A8-7600 needed 12 packages, it has non-free nvidia driver. Not 
vulnerable.
The Intel i7-3540 only needed 5 packages. Not vulnerable.
KDE Plasma 5.12 Desktop on both.
