If this is of any help to you, I can offer some testing.
I.e. leave me two little images,not doing much more than booting an extremely stripped-down system (just prompt in a rescue, or so), with latest TW kernel and kernel 4.20.
Then I can test which one works on next problematic hardware and give feedback.
Thanks for the offer, but basically we need no special hardware just for testing such an image or an update repo. It'll be applicable for all hardware, after all. Takashi

2. Extend the current DVD ISO to allow to choose between current official
kernel and this new 4.20 kernel. (I am no developer, I don't know how to do that).
This should be rather easy, and even doable with the current installer. In the online repo setup, you can add your own repo, and just put OBS Kernel:stable repo there. That's all.
BTW, the kernel in OBS Kernel:stable repo has one big disadvantage. It's not signed with the official openSUSE key, thus it won't boot with secure boot. OTOH, if we take the real TW kernel package, it should work with secure boot, too.
... and last but not least, another bigger disadvantage is the lack of KMPs. The extra kernel module packages provided for Leap 15.0 kernel won't be available for this one. If there are alternative ones for TW, we can take them, though.
Also, the Nvidia KMP build is often broken with each kernel version update. It'd be another reason to stick with TW kernel, not the bleeding edge one in OBS Kernel:stable.
