Would like to partition UEFI for Nitrux (dual boot)
Seeing that Nitrux is now Debian based, was wanting to give it a spin.
Usually, i just make unallocated space, then make it ext4 via gparted and then install all as /.
But Nitrux also wants this plus something called boot/efi on fat32 min. 500mg

Caveat - never used Nitrux.
If you already have a [U]EFI distro installed, or even Win10, you will already have a FAT partition marked as EFI. Use that during the install - simply mount it in the partitioning phase, and make sure you don't format it.
Simple.
