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.

Ventoy

I'd recommend just Balena or Rufus at first. Ventoy may sometimes (not often) cause issues.

I have spent way too much time trying to get an OS to install on an unfamiliar board only to find out it was barfing up Ventoy for some reason.
