My experience from running Debian 10 for a few days:

< SNIP >

I've seen folks building mesa-git on Bullseye. In theory, it should be also possible on Debian 10. Last week, I tried building mesa-git but it had dependencies on wayland and so I stopped. Also, you don't have the convenience of apt-get automagically applying the latest bug and security fixes.

Debian 10 is good enough for me. You mileage may vary. Its biggest selling point is it simply works.
After futzing these few days on Bullseye, I'm just about ready to join you on Buster.
What changes did you make to @danielt installer to pull a Buster debbootstrap, or what arguments did you supply?

These were my changes on top of Daniel's debbootstrap http://students.engr.scu.edu/~sschaeck/s...ster.patch

Note, I also made the boot more verbose. You may not need all my changes. It is very important that you don't blindly replace bullseye with buster in etc/apt/sources.list. Use my sources.list from the patch.

I used the standard commandline arguments. Nothing special.

Please report back if you should find issues with Debian 10.
