Sorry - haven't used that series.
I guess you've seen this brief guide to UEFI and that model for Debian:-

You 'may' have issues with the keyboard backlights:-

Otherwise I'd take the lack of posts as an indication that installing
Debian is not difficult.
I'd try a live Debian first to see what's supported, then tackle the
UEFI and installation. You might also consider installing to a USB stick
until you have any wrinkles ironed out (depending on how important
keyboard backlighting is).
Kind regards.
