I just wanted to boot Linux on my laptop with no operating system installed. However, I have no other PC or laptop where I can download Linux. Can I just download the Linux file on my phone, connect my phone and boot from the phone?
Probably not because the drivers are missing.
However, you can download Linux to your cell phone and copy it from your cell phone to an SD card or USB stick.
You can then boot your PC with the external medium
OK thanks
So this "boot from the phone" will probably not work.
If your notebook still has a CD / DVD drive, you could boot any Linux or rescue system from a booklet CD / DVD of the past few months.
You could then pull your preferred Linux from the network and create a bootable medium (DVD or USB stick).
Otherwise you are dependent on the personal help of others.
But passing on a disinfected USB stick and then picking it up again disinfected should (with a little good will) be feasible.
All you have to do is forward the link to the corresponding ISO file and a special tool can be used to create a bootable medium (USB stick (from 4GB)).
It won't work that way!
The USB stick or SD card must be made bootable.
The pure ISO file on the data carrier is not bootable!
But this is how it could work:

However, I can't check this out myself.
Who is talking about an ISO file? Gives e.g. Ubuto extra folder structures that you only have to drag on the stick to boot. The OS manufacturers (even MS) are now thinking along.
At least I have never seen anything like this.
For all Linux distributions that I've looked at so far, only ISO files were available for download.
And then these had to either be burned to CD / DVD (=> "ISO burn"), or made bootable using additional software on a USB stick (or similar).
Can you possibly give me a link where I can find something like what you described there?
Okay, it is a ISO file that has to be downloaded and packed, but everything can be done from a cell phone.

The only catch is that my uefi must have a BIOS instead, but uefi is now standard everywhere!
All of the steps described here can be performed without restriction by any modern Android phone, provided the necessary know-how is of course available.
Since I don't have a smartphone, or never had one, I completely missed it. My old PC also has a bios.
And the path you linked is definitely not for beginners.
True, but if you want to install a Linux system, you can usually deal with systems and get along with the steps. Therefore I simply assumed that the FS has the necessary know-how.
