People on here will literally write walls of text over the most mundane nonsense.

Get a free standing unit like this: https://i.imgur.com/giewYeK.png

Shove the plastic tube outlet out of a window. End of installation. You're welcome.

Seriously why is this so difficult and what is this learned helplessness? You would rather be miserable than do literally anything?

I have one like that and so do my parents. But they're much less effective than classic split AC with an outside unit. A regular split can cool a bigger room to 24 even when it's 38 outside and is basically completely quiet. A portable AC cools down smaller rooms to ~27 when it's 38 outside and is noisy (50-60 dB).

		That's cause you got the cheapest one and think all of them are like that. They come in different power levels and you can in fact find ones that are quiet.
