Getting Started with linux

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Well, it sounds like you're telling me to run linux under windows? That 
isn't what I had in mind.  Here's what I've learned thus far:
I need to download a linux OS; then make a bootable media and install 
the linux ISO to it.

Well, I did that:
downloaded ubuntu-20.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso
and (for flashing it to the thumb drive) balenaEtcher-Portable-1.7.3.exe
made a bootable thumb drive and installed ubuntu on it.


Now I need to learn how to install ubuntu from the thumb drive.  I must 
search for instructions to go on from here.

Thanks.
Howard
