You can degoogle android by removing or sandboxing google play services. CalyxOS and LineageOS do this AFAIK.

how are they in terms of user interface?

They use the stock android interface. They’re (oversimplification but) basically android with all the proprietary and Google stuff removed.

How does that work? Can you walk me through how to do that?

How do I do that? You have instructions or a walk through?

Both Roms have extensive instructions on their website. The important thing is whether your device is supported.

You will need to unlock the bootloader and wipe the device. If you've never installed android, here be dragons. A backup device is recommendable to say the least. Not liable, etc..
