It’s normal to see a warning when installing Debian 11 for the first time. Don’t worry, you can still proceed safely. There are ways to install it without issues.

If your system partition isn’t encrypted, you have options: use a third-party bootloader such as rEFInd to run it, install GRUB via the terminal, or add GRUB manually from another Linux distribution installed on your drive.

Technically the installation is set up so from that screen you can switch to a TTY interface using ctrl+alt+f3. Following the instructions on the GRUB wiki page, you can install grub by running grub-install with the specified parameters. After successful completion, generate the configuration file with grub-mkconfig and place it in /boot/grub/grub.cfg. Once done, reboot using systemctl to restart the system properly. It should boot normally afterward.

If your system's setup isn't secured, there are several possible reasons... The issue arises when GRUB doesn't work properly because the machine's BIOS doesn't support the encrypted partition...
