I've installed the XFCE version of Good Life Linux (Devuan based) a couple times, then TDE, and it went without a hitch.

I don't really understand why TDE has been so much trouble for you to get working right.� I usually install the XFCE version of the distro I want, then install TDE, and it's good to go after a little minor tweaking here & there.
