Huawei Matebook D14 Debian Notes
https://github.com/nekr0z/linux-on-huawei-matebook-13-2019 <- looks like very good information

This is for the AMD model, not the Intel model.
Realtek Wireless replaced with Intel 9260 (Wi-Fi 5, I just prefer Intel over Realtek)
I used this iso, hoping it would be a better fit with the non-free (not sure about this)

Debian Buster 10.3
I put it like this on a USB Thumb drive on my Macbook:
Use "diskutil list" to figure out the correct disk (choose wisely!)
Unmount the disk (4 in my case) with "diskutil umountdisk /dev/disk4"
Unmount of all volumes on disk4 was successful
sudo dd if=Downloads/debian-live-10.3.0-amd64-xfce+nonfree.iso of=/dev/rdisk4 bs=1m
(Note that you write to rdisk4 instead of disk4 on Mac)
You can monitor the utilisation of your usb thumb drive with "iostat disk4 10" while you wait
The graphical installer doesn't find the touchpad, so you'll need to to through the text-based installer.
