    Installation tips

I use only Debian and net-inst image to install linux, and I use text install 😄

When partitioning primary disk where will be Debian installed, create first partiton of size 256-512M as EFI System partition - this will set this partition as Bootable, and FileSystem=vfat .
Don't forget about swap partition if you have not much too much RAM (at least of size of RAM), I usually create 4-8GB as 2nd partition on disk.
You can optionally create partition for /boot that have about 1-2GB , FS=ext4,
Or just use whole disk as / , FileSystem=ext4 - I almost always choose this setup - it's the most optimal.
