Lots of decent "how to install Linux on a computer that Windows has given up on" tutorials but if you're a lifelong Windows user (ie not already a Linux user), a step that's really important to not skip is to try out a few different DEs and distros in a live USB environment to figure out which ones you most like the look and feel of, and which ones work well on your hardware (esp if you're on a laptop) - eg if your wifi or display have issues out of the box. Often fixable, but important to know.
