Take a look at this quick install video using my new customized Ventoy based USB flash drives. Pardon the different video & audio quality and style, as I took this video on my cellphone. If you have any questions, hit me in the comments. Thanks for watching.

Steps:
plug in your flash drive
Restart your computer (if windows 10 or 11, then hold shift as you restart to call up the advanced boot options, then boot from USB)
Let it boot into the custom ventoy environment
Select the distro and desktop you want to try
Hit enter for default boot mode on the next screen
Let it boot into the live environment
Explore the desktop
If you like it, open the installer, if you don't, try another option (reboot the computer and hit ESC, f1, f2, or f10, depending on the manufacturer), then pick the asolid USB option, this should open up ventoy again)
Pick a new candidate
Repeat above steps until you find a combination you like
Once you do, open the installer in the live environment, and let it erase the drive and replace windows with your chosen flavor of Linux.
Follow the steps as presented in the installer, and by the end of it, your system will be running Linux.
Congratulations, you just set your computer free from spying and the performance penalty that brings.
