Resources for the technically challenged? (lemmy.ca)

I have an ASUS ROG that came with Windows 12 11 pre-installed. I tried using it once and it pissed me off so bad I haven't opened the laptop again. I want to switch to a Linux distro that's compatible with it but need the process explained like you would to Grandma trying to bank online. Are there any resources that break it WAY down? Like, starting just after turning the computer on (I've got that down already).

Edit to say: it has been pointed out that Windows 12 does not, in fact, exist and I may or may not be posting this from the future.

Right now it's gathering dust on a shelf so it's not getting any less usable no matter what happens to it. I found a site with some info about installing Linux on ROG, but was immediately over my head, which is why I'm asking you fine folks for help.

    Then install any distro by yourself. Immediately close the installation guide if it has even one line of command that requires typing, and hop on another distro's installation guide.

    That is assuming newbies hate command lines. No offence.

    Not to mention now that there are tons of videos walking through you the process. They even show you how to enter a command and run it for the installation process! Reading skill isn't required anymore!
