Ok so my computer is a small thinkpad that runs windows 10 I mostly use it to write and use hexbear.

How do i change to linux?

Either a link to a good concise lay person worded article or some kind patient soul willing to help me in comments.

Thank you for your help!

    Everyone already pointed you to Ubuntu or some flavor of it, but I also want to add that you will have a chance to play around with any flavor of Linux (Ubuntu, Kubunu, Mint, etc) before you commit to it. When you make a Linux USB stick, it'll boot into a desktop environment that's very close to the real thing. So before you click "install" you can actually try out stuff. Click around, launch a bunch of programs, etc. All without any permanent changes to your computer. If you don't like it, reboot back to Windows and flash a different Linux flavor to your USB stick. Pick and install the one you like.
