I got to the part where I
installed Bitcoin Core on testnet and both Lnd and Eclair and tried opening channels, sending payments, closing channels etc
But what should I do next? How do I properly discover and report bugs?

Well, that depends. Maybe you see an error message. Or maybe the opening of the channel fails. Or the client disconnects unexpectedly. If you expend some effort to investigate or fix it yourself and still nothing, you should report it. It could be a bug, or it could be bad UX. Both should and can be fixed.
I will give you an example of the bug I found: When I tried to close the channel, in some cases the channel would close only on one side and not the other and the logs contained an error message that the signature was invalid (see https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/issues/502[1])

Isn't Eclair a mobile wallet? I seem to recall trying that and it wouldn't work on my older version phone. Is there a desktop (linux) wallet we can test with?
