Beginner's question - will the wall hold ?

Hello, I am going to build an interior wall and will start next weekend. The wall is a non-load-bearing wall with wooden studs. 2.5 meters high and 1.85 meters wide. In this wall, there will be a large glass window that takes up half of the wall (1.2m wide x 2 meters high). This window weighs about 25 kg. For you to understand, I'm showing an inspiration image of how the finished result should look. How do I make the wall as stable as possible since there will be 25-30 kg of glass? Beginner questions: a) Do I need larger studs like at least 45x90mm? b) Is it recommended to make the wall as stable as possible, for example, by using OSB boards under the plasterboard? If it even helps, it's not where the glass will be. Good to know is that the wall will end in the middle of the room (and thus not wall-to-wall), making it less stable? See the images below. Thanks, friends! =)

Turned out well, no idea about the time spent - too stubborn and do stuff like that myself
