The problem is that I've never used Linux before, I don't know how to create a virtual machine with Linux

[...] so I am better off someone doing this via rdp on my pc.
If you really care about building it from source instead of simply verifying the signature, you should at least do it yourself.
I don't see the reason behind letting soemone else access your computer to compile electrum from source.
You could either use the guide together with a tutorial on how to set up a virtual machine and therefore compile it yourself (which kind of is the reason to compile something yourself) or just verify the signature to be sure you are not using a malicious version of electrum.
