Thank you Micha and lucas. I have then upgraded my notebook to bullseye

So you recommend avoiding sid even for specific package minor-version
upgrades with security fixes?
The Debian wiki says otherwise. See
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting#Best_practices_for_Testing_users
I currently follow the Debian wiki advice. I carefully monitor the list
of installed packages from unstable, to avoid unintended upgrades.
