Be sure to select "Write in DD Image mode" after press "START" in Rufus.

That is one of these small flat modern M2-SSDs you find in up to date computers nowadays, typically 22mm wide and 80mm long (other lengths possible). They talks to the PCIe bus via a protocol called NVMe while conventional SSDs like SATA HDDs use AHCI as communications protocol.
Have a look on Wikipedia.

I am pretty sure the main drive in your Win11 laptop is a M2 NVME SSD.

Yes. As first step you will have to reduce the space Windows11 takes on the NVME.

My approach would be:
- Reduce the Win11 space by 128M using a gparted life on USB stick.
- Make sure Win11 still boots ok.
- Obtain a Devuan Daedalus netinstall (when the laptop has LAN on Board) or the Daedalus DVD if no LAN is available. Put one of them on a stick and boot from there and install into the empty space using manual partitioning.

I agree with Fred, you need to go into your bios setup and switch off secure boot, enabling/allowing legacy boot.

This is not 100% correct. You can disable Secure Boot, but normally the PC/Laptop will remain in UEFI mode. In addition, very modern UEFI implementations have skipped the possibility to enable CSM = Legacy mode.

I guess the OP will need to install Devuan in EFI mode.

I agree with Fred, you need to go into your bios setup and switch off secure boot, enabling/allowing legacy boot.

You may change it back later.

You probably just need to disable secure boot in the bios/uefi setup.

I would say booting from a running OS into another one normally is impossible.

Suggestion: look into how to use boot override on the Windows laptop. Start the stick with Devuan Life from there.
