The girl and I have now put up the ceiling drywall, the walls remain, but now I'm a bit torn.
Two narrow rooms in the garage used to have super thick chipboard on the exterior walls, except where the wood burner was, there it was only drywall.
I've bought a pallet of drywall, but I'm skeptical about how much you can load drywall and how it withstands cold through the garage wall...
Would you just add strapping everywhere you roughly know cabinets will go, and then use heavy-duty plugs where you will later put up heavy items in the hobby room?
Am I underestimating spillevink drywall?

the garage will become a fully insulated heated garage later. these two rooms are insulated..
osb and renovation gypsum I can imagine, the question is if it's worth the trouble.

Typically, shouldn't have bought a whole pallet of gips then..
What kind of wall is it now? I mean, what will it be behind an eventual OSB? My garage is built from the same type of lightweight concrete as the house, not ideal for attaching anything but there are Fischer plugs that allow you to hang really heavy things on those walls. If you have exterior walls that are okay, maybe you can glue plasterboard directly on them and then use plugs in the concrete?
4-inch studs, or the interior walls at least, I think the outer ones too, wind barrier, regular wood paneling, insulation, then some form of wallboard... cast slab... previously there were about 20mm chipboards that I forcibly removed... except in the boiler room where there was drywall which is now gone.
I haven't really planned to have such elaborate things on the walls anyway, shelves can be aimed at the studs and placed between them.
Previously, the ceiling was uninsulated, but I've installed plastic, laid insulation, and screwed up drywall. The plan is to do this throughout the garage...

If it's regular 13 mm gypsum, I would use double gypsum if you have plenty of boards.
With metal expanders, you can hang at least 30 kilos per screw, so it takes really heavy heavy items before it becomes a problem.
3-4 screws and you can hang up most things. If it's heavier, then you should try to hit a stud in that case.
