Boot Linux off USB, open command prompt. Use "dd if=/path/to/image of=/dev/sdaX bs=1M". Find out proper names of your SSD, and the image you want to burn.

You can also boot Linux with desktop, and install Balena there, they have Linux ports as well. It will be safer and simpler for someone withouy Linux experience.

As for "How to do it": There are plenty of user-friendly Live Linux distros. Ubuntu, Mint - just to name a few.

First, backup the current drive and make sure you know how to restore it.
