Sparky Linux is one of my favorite semi-rolling Linux distros.

It's Debian based and rock solid stable doesn't get no better imo.

Installed all software from the Sparky repository which is recommended.

Default browser Firefox 78.13.0esr.

If you want a lightweight rock solid stable Linux distro based on Debian Bullseye give it a look and perhaps a try.

There is a slight learning curve although easily overcome imo.

Definitely worthy of a look see imo.
