Installing/Preparing Debian on a headless system

Hello, after learning that the Debian-based RaspberryPi OS does not get security fixes always in time (see dirty-pipe), I am considering installing pure Debian on my system. It seems not all proprietary components are supported, but I don't need video acceleration anyway, for example. My Pi acts a
