I wonder what your experience is with drywall indoors, whether it is an absorbent material or not? I've heard both. All our walls are made of drywall and the idea is to paint quite a few walls and wallpaper some. I thought we would prime first and then paint with 2 coats of color, but if the drywall isn't that absorbent, then 2 coats of color should be enough, if you know what I mean.
What I'm pondering is: how have you experienced drywall, does it absorb a lot of paint or not???

I don't know if this is relevant, but in the instructions for Alfix primer and waterproofing, gypsum walls are considered an absorbent material, just like, for example, lightweight concrete.
When it comes to painting, I have never heard anything other than that you should prime first. But I'm not a painter either.... :

When wallpapering directly on drywall, it is recommended to first roll adhesive on the drywall and then wallpaper as usual (with adhesive on the wallpaper), i.e., 2 layers of adhesive.
Regarding painting, I repainted a drywall in the summer and applied 2 coats of color with good results. But it depends on the paint... (I bought paint for a third round but didn't need it in my case)
