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.
