Hi Laurențiu,
Debian unstable and testing have no security support. As Linus Torvalds
has said, security issues are bugs so the bugs will be fixed but
unstable and testing have no official security support in Debian.
On the other hand Debian 11 (testing) (AMD64) is quite stable and
current stable (Debian 10) has more bugs than testing (Debian 11) so you
can check existing bugs for Debian 11 and if you decide then you can
install and use Debian testing (Debian 11).
