Have you give permission to execute the AppImage?
Code:
chmod +x electrum-4.5.8-x86_64.AppImage
Have you tried running AppImage from terminal to see whether there's any warning or error message?
Code:
./electrum-4.5.8-x86_64.AppImage
The world would be a beautiful place if instructions always worked for everyone. You accepted straight away that I knew absolutely nothing and that I wanted to make no sense. I don't know many things, I know something. I want to learn more about Linux, so I go to the distrowatch I'm familiar with the Desktop interface like Cinnamon, MATE, XFCE and I like the last one the most, I installed something else but I didn't like it very much so I just deleted it. So I'm looking for the most popular recommended distribution with XFCE.... By the way I tried Parrot, Xubuntu, ubuntu, Mint.... I'm not in it 24/7. But since windows is going in a direction I don't understand (I want a photo program, I install it and it should work. And not, like windows, having to manually change the file associations which will change to default after an update anyway) I'm looking for something to use on a daily basis which I can recommend to my family and friends.

Hmm, it's thinking that you're installing a python package and not the downloaded "Electrum-4.5.8.tar.gz" file.error: externally-managed-environment

I can't reproduce it in Ubuntu 22.04.3 though, I don't use Linux Mint.
Anyways, you can still use Electrum without installing it. Just follow the "Run without installing:" part in the instructions;
The first command extracts the tar.gz file,
The second command is for launching Electrum. (use every time you need to start Electrum)
The inconvenience of not installing it is you can't start it with a simple command "electrum".
2. 3. 4. I see file Electrum-4.5.8.tar.gz in my computer. Yes is unpacking, and work. mean must be downloaded.

Can you please explain this? And what type of Linux Mint you are using, default Ubuntu based or Debian based?I do not insist. I just like to use it
You don't need to install anything additional with .appimage files, just click on them, they are similar to portable files in wind0ws OS.
Another option is to check in Linux Mint package manager and search if Electrum wallet is listed there.
I also found few years old topic with Electrum wallet issues on Linux Mint forum:

If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package,
create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.
Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make
sure you have python3-full installed.
If you wish to install a non-Debian packaged Python application,
it may be easiest to use pipx install xyz, which will manage a
virtual environment for you. Make sure you have pipx installed.
See /usr/share/doc/python3.12/README.venv for more information.
note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages.
hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification.

I feel lost with the installation, there are other commands given on GitHub and on electrum.org and other sites. As a non-experienced Linux user, I would like to know which is the correct way. Somehow this installation does not work for me. For example, I copied nord vpn and many others to a terminal and there was no problem.
