Yes I do. In fact Debian 11/Bullseye is my distro.

Based on my experience with using ArchLinux's tutorials, I have been able to get all of my stuff done on Debian without problems. After all both are Linux distros. It's not like one of them belongs to *BSD family while the other belongs to Linux family.

Let's have a look at ArchLinux's wiki's example (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Iwd) which I reproduce here:
Setting static IP address in network configuration
Add the following section to /var/lib/iwd/network.type file. For example:
/var/lib/iwd/spaceship.psk
[IPv4]
Address=192.168.1.10
Netmask=255.255.255.0
Gateway=192.168.1.1
Broadcast=192.168.1.255
DNS=192.168.1.1
In the above example the broadcast IP is 192.168.1.255.
Question: Does the fourth octet have to be 255?
