The problem is that 98% of people will never change the operating system and just use what their devices are shipped with.However, some Linux distributions make it as simple as it gets with their own media writer tools that will create a bootable USB stick for you (see picture).
Then you need to find out how to boot your computer from a USB stick, and that's the time for a big shout out to the computer manufacturers that still couldn't agree on a standard (it's probably F12)

Regarding which distribution: it matters less than the desktop environment that you choose, because that's what you'll be working with.If you are a Windows person, use KDE.
If you are a Mac person, use Gnome.

You might as well be talking in another language to the users you think you're talking to."You need to figure out how to boot the pc from a usb. The distribution doesn't matter, it's the desktop environment."
It's all meaningless to most people using Mac and Windows. When I first used Ubuntu (about 16 years ago), none of that would have made sense to me.
