Most distributions have detailed instructions on their sites, like Linux Mint. But overall, it amounts to:
- Choose disteibution
- Download it’s installation image ( I recommend LiveUSB version - it will allow you to check if you like it first and most distributions have them )
- Prepare bootable usb stick ( I recommend Rufus for that )
- When done, reboot your computer choosing usb drive as boot
- If LiveUSB version, check out whether you like what you see and if everything works. If you like it, there should be install app on desktop
- Proceed with install process. For most linuxes, it’s 1:1 windows installation process, minus ads and forcing you into online stuff.
- Enjoy linux ^^
Edit: Also, you can simply download distributions en masse and boot them up in VirtualBox or something to check them out without making USB each time. Allows bypassing requirement of LiveUSB too - you can just install it in its box. However not all distributions like being virtual boxxed
Please, please do act on google too. Didn’t knew about YT thing, but god I loved Spartan Edge. It was soo…resource unintensive. It…simply did it job, was quick, low resource, looked good… :( I switched to it from chrome and then it became chrome.
