• To upgrade without reinstalling: replace buster with bullseye in /etc/apt/sources.list, /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*, remove /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian-buster-updates-security-backports.list, install /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian-buster-updates-security-backports.list, run sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade (read Debian 11 Release notes). Optionally update your configuration according to changes since the last release. skel modifications will only take effect on newly created user accounts.
