Hello,

according to the french Asus website, the processor (Qualcomm) of this 
laptop is not an amd64 architecture (AMD, Intel,...) but an arm64 
architecture.

Installing Debian 13 (why install Debian 12 Bookworm? It's an old 
version, Trixie 13 is the current stable version) with the adequate 
architecture:

(bt- for bitorrent (cd or dvd), iso for direct download (cd or dvd), 
jigdo for jigdo download (cd or dvd)

there is the Debian installation guide for arm64:
