Hello!
Let's help developers to test upcoming Debian version 11 by filling
out the community-driven list of tested hardware configurations:
https://github.com/linuxhw/TestCoverage/tree/master/Dist/Debian_11
<https://github.com/linuxhw/TestCoverage/tree/master/Dist/Debian_11)>
The development team only has a limited set of hardware for tests, but
I'm sure we can find almost any configuration in the community. Anyone
can easily add their computers / laptops or servers info to the list
using the package https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/hw-probe
<https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/hw-probe>.
You can download Debian 11 release candidate on the page

I just added my 7-year-old ASRock Desktop running bullseye to the
linuxhw database. I have been running Debian on it since Wheezy was the
stable version and I have been testing bullseye on it since bullseye
reached the soft freeze back in February. It works well and I just
migrated bullseye to my SSD so it boots from the SSD and bullseye boots
to the gnome desktop as fast as buster did from the SSD. The only issue
I have seen with bullseye is that when I run bullseye as a Dom0 on the
Xen hypervisor (using the Xen 4.14 package for bullseye), for some
reason the system will not power down. The operating system does stop
but the power stays on and I need to hit the reset button and then the
power button to make it actually power down. Bullseye is the first
version of Debian to exhibit this issue which only occurs when running
bullseye as a Dom0 on Xen - bullseye powers down normally when running
on the bare metal.
