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.

Yeah, that would do it. It used to be trivial to get around that only a couple of years ago. Microsoft keeps paving over the workarounds, seeing as their profit motive is forcing everything to cloud subscriptions now.
