Recently? If so, you might be best off by reinstalling 10 from scratch.

The GPU was only supported with linux 5.8 so I updated to
bullseye.

You might be better off installing 5.8 from buster-backports.

I don't know how to configure correctly the sources.list
file so I just changed all the 'buster' for 'bullseye' and it upgraded
well (but the Debian-security failed I don't know why. It would be
interesting if someone helps me with that).

Because there is no security support for testing.

Yea, I realized and just commented that line
Now I am in an unstable version :)
I just want my GPU to work... But now I generate other problem...
I wrote twice a line in the sources.list and now 'apt upgrade' gives a problem because some files are twice configured in 'sources.list'. I fixed the bad lines but the problem didn't solve. How do I fix this little problem?

I rebooted to use the last
kernel an the GPU controllers worked this time. But, the startx (I
installed GNOME) didn't work. I tried to upgrade and... More than 500
packages were kept back... I am using bullseye so I don't think I have
a deprecated version. But  don't know how to configure the sources...
Could someone send me a configuration for the last bullseye system?

It doesn't sound as if you're familiar enough with Debian to be able
to comfortably run a testing system.

As I said above, now I made a bigger problem... I am not familiar enough to Debian, but I need some components working and they are not available on Debian 10 (I need the 5.8 kernel for the GPU and some packages in testing to use the touchpad).

Happy hacking
