There are options to install Linux without a USB stick. You can use a live USB or CD image created from a distro's source, then boot from it. Alternatively, some distros offer installation media that can be burned to a DVD or used via a USB during setup. Check the official documentation for your desired distribution.
You can set up Linux via PXE boot, which begins the installation over the internet. I haven’t tried this myself, but it might depend on BIOS/UEFI support in your device. For more details, check this guide: https://www.tecmint.com/install-pxe-netw...-centos-7/ Remember, you’ll need another machine with Linux running to supply the installation files.
You might purchase it from Amazon if that’s the sole problem... The alternative method I’m aware of involves setting it up on a real hard drive inside a virtual machine.
Consider these resources for installation guidance. Hope they assist. The links provided can help with setting up Linux without burning an ISO to a CD/DVD. If needed, they may support others too.
