By a "Stroke of luck", I have been running "Almost Production" Bullseye
systems since halfway through the Testing Process.  Any System that runs a
Qemu-KVM Guest is now running on Bullseye.

I first created a Qemu-KVM Guest under Mint 20, promptly ran out of Disk
Space, and so wanted to Import it to Debian (after developing a HUGE
dislike of Mint 20, mainly due to their Install Process).  *However*, I was
unable to Import that Qemu Guest to Buster (which I was running then),
because Buster refused the Import due to a lower Release Level for Qemu.
So, I bit the Bullet and am Quite Happy with Bullseye (though there were a
few Bumps, some of which were handled on this List, and one that became a
Debian Bug Report).

So I will make my Entries, via that Github Link for three HP Systems and
three Lenovo Laptops.  As a bonus, I will dust off an Ancient Gaming Laptop
and see how far I get, adding it too.  One note:  Some are upset over
Github.  I remain neutral, even to running a Windows 10 Guest on my HP
Elitedesk 705 G1 under Bullseye.
