Hey!I have a couple of notebooks, a VM and like ~30 servers running debian testing for 2 years now.
My experience says you can count on stability.I have not detected any security issues yet... I'm also subscribed to debian-security, most of the announcements on the list are already solved on by the packages on bullseye.

Hi. I love having fresh packages. To work around the oldness of Debian stable, I have installed dozens of packages from buster-backports; 81 packages from Guix; 12 Flatpak applications (excluding runtimes); 20 pip3 packages (excluding their dependencies); and ≃10 npm packages (excluding their many dozens of dependencies). The complementary package managers do not quench my thirst for freshness, so I would like to upgrade Debian to bullseye. Now that the freeze has started, is it a good time to upgrade my personal notebook? Should bullseye, by now, be relatively stable and, more importantly, secure enough? I do not run any server; it is a personal laptop behind NAT---at least for IPv4 (I don't know the details of IPv6). I am subscribed to `debian-security' and am willing to manually pull specific packages from /unstable/ for security reasons. That is, when a /testing/ package in my installation has a serious security vulnerability, I am willing to upgrade it to the security-fixed version from /unstable/ instead of waiting for it to propagate to testing. In this context, is bullseye secure enough? Regards
