There is a way, but it is less than ideal and may need correction by people
who see flaws in the way, but here is a way it could go.

One possible list of Equipment:
Laptop or Desktop to install it on.
Laptop or Desktop for the person with knowledge.
A smartphone for the person who is trying to install one.
Chrome Remote Desktop
Zoom
A pdf guide after a certain point

1. Both people both connect.
2. He/She does the necessary procedure to set up Chrome Remote Desktop and
send the link for you to access his screen.
3. The helper guides the person through the process and takes over when
necessary (the person installing should give permission for that first)
4. After a certain where the app stops working due to it being restarted to
get prepared to install the os, the helper puts up a pdf on steps to do
next, and guides them through the rest of the process while the other
person should be using their smartphone to show them the screen when
necessary.
5. OS installed or something went wrong which might make the person not
want to try out Linux.

There is also the option of giving them the files to put on a usb flash
drive and boot from there, or just doing the part that ends at restart for
them which may reduce the chance of something going wrong.
