Debian has released version 11, bullseye. Should the current TDE (buster) packages work with bullseye until the packages are updated?
Thanks.

Confirming the TDE desktop (buster) came up fine, after upgrading Debian to bullseye.

It is not recommended to use packages compiled for buster on the bullseye. While most of the code would work, there is no guarantee that things are not broken. You better use TDE for bullseye instead (replace buster with bullseye in your source.list).

A good general rule is to let things shake out a bit before upgrading to a new distribution. For instance, I run an LTS distribution -- and I wait a full year before upgrading -- ie., I upgraded to 20.04 this spring. There are no extra points or an increase in coolness for being the first person on your block to upgrade.
The exception is when you maintain a separate testbed machine solely for the purpose of things such as answering your question. -- dep
