Do you have any prior Linux knowledge? If so, with what distribution and to what extent?

What exactly do you want explained?

Short:

  • Save your important personal data (pictures, documents...) on an external data storage medium!
  • Get rufus!
  • Get a siduction image with the desired desktop environment, e.g. LXQt: siduction-patience-lxqt-amd64-latest.iso (2 GiB!)! patience, not experimental, not paintitblack.
  • Use rufus to drag the image onto a USB stick! Note if you want to install with CSM/MBR or UEFI/GPT!
  • Disable secure boot in UEFI! Boot siduction from stick and install it!

devil's question is legitimate. If you don't have any knowledge about Linux, another Linux distribution might be better for you.

Before I forget: siduction wants to be updated with apt update and apt dist-upgrade regularly. Our forum has a 'Upgrade Warnings' section that you should visit before updating.
