    Good afternoon, I have a question about Debian versions. Is there a commercial version of Debian? Any version with technical support? I was reading on the website that there is a version called Debian LTS, specifically Debian 10 "Buster," but I'm not
    sure if this version meets what I'm asking for. I hope you can help me or even explain a little more about LTS and the "Buster" version.

    I hope you can assist me as I don't have much knowledge about this operating system

    No, Debian is a free software, but you can get commercial support from third-parties.

    I was reading on the website that there is a version called Debian
    LTS, specifically Debian 10 "Buster," but I'm not sure if this
    version meets what I'm asking for. I hope you can help me or even
    explain a little more about LTS and the "Buster" version.
    LTS is just the old-stable release with security repos.

    Any version with technical support?

    The Debian project provides the Debian operating system for free and
    provides technical support for free by volunteers. In addition, there
    are a number of people and companies providing paid support for Debian.

    https://www.debian.org/support
    https://www.debian.org/consultants/ https://lists.debian.org/debian-consultants/

    Outside Debian there are companies producing operating systems based on
    Debian and providing commercial support for those operating systems,
    probably the biggest example is Ubuntu provided by Canonical:

    https://ubuntu.com/
    https://canonical.com/

    I was reading on the website that there is a version called Debian
    LTS, specifically Debian 10 "Buster," but I'm not sure if this
    version meets what I'm asking for. I hope you can help me or even
    explain a little more about LTS and the "Buster" version.

    Debian releases have normal security support for one year after the
    following release and releases occur approximately every two years, so
    Debian releases have approximately three years of security support. The
    Debian LTS effort aims to extend the security support available to each
    Debian release to at least 5 years. The LTS project is done using
    funding contributed by the Freexian company, but their efforts are
    distributed for free. Outside of Debian, Freexian extends security
    support for Debian releases to up to 10 years. The ELTS results are
    distributed for free, but only customers can choose what is supported.
