Debian set up (using SpiralLinux as installer)

  https://github.com/SpiralLinux/SpiralLinux-project  (for Btrfs/Snapper set up)   Disk creation:   1. Select Manual Partitioning in Calamares 2. Create the partition table (if starting fresh): ◦  Select your disk (e.g., /dev/vda) ◦  Create a new GPT partition table 3. Create EFI System Partition: ◦  Size: 1024 MiB (1 GB as requested, instead of 300M) ◦  File system: FAT32 ◦  Mount point: /boot/efi ◦  Flags: Set the boot and esp flags 4. Create Root Partition: ◦  Size: Remaining space (~79 GB) ◦  File system: Btrfs (since your setup shows multiple subvolumes) ◦  Mount point: / ◦  No flags needed 5. Configure Btrfs Subvolumes (if Calamares supports it):    After creating the Btrfs partition, you'll need to set up subvolumes for: •  @ → / •  @home → /home •  @root → /root •  @tmp → /tmp •  @log → /var/log •  @snapshots → /.snapshots  Install packages: sudo apt install -y...
