As suggeste before, now I have:

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib non-free

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ bullseye-security non-free contrib main


My doubt now is why in http://security.debian.org/ it suggests:

deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main contrib non-free

and on https://wiki.debian.org/NewInBullseye:

deb https://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main

I explained that already. Debian Security team does not cover non-free so it's pointless. If you go to that security URL there is actually a non-free section but it's always empty, probably so people who do add it to sources don't error out when updating. Removing it will save a tiny amount of time when updating.

"1" means auto-update and auto-upgrade are enabled - whatever Software & Updates says. ("0" is disabled.)

To have both active I activated the security updates (bullseye-security) under updates in "Software & Updates", in the gnome GUI software, because after adding it manually with sudo nano, it gets unchecked in the gnome repository GUI.
Not sure what is going on there. I had a look at my Gnome computer this morning and couldn't see an issue, but it's still on Buster, but if you have a security repository and Update-Package-Lists "1" then you are going to get automatic security updates, even if Software & Updates wants to throw its toys out of the pram.

I set on Software &Updates before performing that. I think it was unchecked because I was adding an extra security repo.
