- Installing Linux: Upon booting the computer, you will enter the interface of the Linux installation program. Follow the prompts to select the appropriate language and keyboard layout. Next, partition the disk, choose the installation location, set the administrator password, and then confirm all settings before beginning the installation of Linux.
- Installation completed: The installation process may take some time depending on the hardware performance of your computer and the chosen Linux distribution. Once the installation process is complete, the system will prompt you to restart the computer.

Once you have completed the aforementioned steps, you will be able to use the installed Linux system. Please note that the specific installation steps may vary depending on the Linux distribution you are using.
