As I seem to have run into a deadlock, has anyone found the way out of this maze?

Installing nodejs 16.x on Debian 11:

With: curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x

Starts off with: Confirming "bullseye" is supported...

And then gives up, with: Your distribution, identified as "bullseye", is not currently supported

/etc/debian_version = 11.7

The procedure is described in many sources. All seem to follow the same setup as this: https://cloudinfrastructureservices.co.uk/how-to-install-ruby-on-rails-on-debian-11-tutorial/

I recommend using a version manager with nodejs. This will allow you to install node 16 as well as other versions in parallel and switch between them at your pleasure. I use fnm: https://github.com/Schniz/fnm. Another one that has been around for a while is nvm: https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm. With fnm installed you can then do:

fnm install 16 

Check the specific documentation if you decide to use another version manager.
