In my opinion Linux is now easier to install than windows. The installers don’t have any user hostility built-in, nagging you for Microsoft accounts or activation kets or any of that crap. Once it’s Installed you could park your grandma in front of it and she’d be able to figure out how to surf the web.
The only difficult part is getting Linux on to a USB stick. After that, you boot your computer from the USB stick and click next, next, next until it’s done. It’s super easy.
There are guides how to burn a iso file with the Linux distinction to a USB stick too. Just start there, see if you can do that as step one.
As for Linux distro, pick something common and easy, like Pop OS or Fedora.
Honestly, I’m afraid of how complicated it sounds and have no idea where to begin.
