Any problems/issues or degradation of performance/functionality/features, especially related to the KDE and its apps?

I am not a KDE user, all of my machines run Mate, so this is a bit off topic

Bullseye is great for me in almost every way.
The newer Mate apps are very nice, but not essential for me and my workflow.

next week I will deploy a "new" HP z820 work station that will be a 
significant part of my LAN and private cloud. I don't know what GPU it 
has yet, but it is Old Tech, 2012 vintage.
I am sure it will run on Bullseye just fine but...

However one of my favorite apps 
(http://alarm-clock.pseudoberries.com/#intro) will not work.

this .deb works on Buster. but not Bullseye
https://packages.debian.org/stretch/amd64/alarm-clock-applet/download

so, for me, I believe I will go for Buster for a while.

Personal choice. A test install is advised.
