+Next, an easy solution is to use apt-pinning to avoid having different version branches causing your system prompting for updates from the experimental repository. Open the following file using a text editor.
+<code>
+sudo nano /etc/apt/preferences
+</code>
+Next, add the following.
+<code>
+Package: *
+Pin: release a=bullseye
+Pin-Priority: 500
+Package: linux-image-amd64
+Pin: release a=unstable
+Pin-Priority: 1000
+Package: *
+Pin: release a=unstable
+Pin-Priority: 100
+</code>
+Save it and get out (Ctrl-O and CTRL-X).
+The order goes all updates are preferenced to Bullseye with a higher score (500) than unstable (100), so you are not prompted on various packages to be updated from the unstable repository.
+However, to make it easy to keep the kernel up to date when you run the apt update command for your standard Bullseye packages, the example above has set linux-image-amd64 as a high priority (1000) using the unstable repository above any other source for that package only.
+Next:
+<code>
+sudo apt update
+</code>
+<code>
+sudo apt upgrade
+</code>
