For new Linux users a good start would be YouTube vids
after that I'd personally recommend the Arch Linux Wiki as it's a well regarded and well known encyclopedia for anything you'd need/want to know about most Linux related things
beyond the Arch Linux wiki, you'd probably be looking at the Linux kernel documentation or Gentoo's docs/wiki
On the offhand chance that someone with a bricked HP laptop stumbles here looking for what to do (prob via smartphone or public library computer),
I'd recommend on removing the M.2 SSD (gumslice-shaped PCB that contains your data) to protect your data
this can be found by googling your laptop's serial number and looking for the manual, after downloading the PDF file you'll be able to open it with Firefox
you'll typically need a philips-head screwdriver to remove the laptop's case and remove the SSD
I'm assuming the users might be coming from Windows
