Hi, Debian 11 is current Debian Stable release. There's a page on the Debian wiki titled "Advice For New Users On Not Breaking Their Debian System" [1] and the very first item of advice there is "If you're trying to install software that isn't available in the current Debian Stable release, it's not a good idea to add repositories for other Debian releases." So it might be a good idea for anyone considering adding additional software outside of what is officially packaged for a Debian Stable release to evaluate the information given on that page regarding different methods of doing so, and possible consequences.
