Nope, it's a shawl, a poncho would have a hole for the head in the middle whereas a shawl wraps around the shoulders.

You got me, that's the exact one I just pulled out of my pocket when I read this.

No real advice but I've heard of people having issues with their BTRFS filesystem running out of free inodes and reporting the filesystem as full due to that. Note that the df command is not expected to work properly for a BTRFS filesystem.

Your hair isn't left smelling of the vinegar after?

I would assume APC, a brand of uninterrupted power supply.

Kobo is owned by Rakuten, a Japanese company. Still a much better choice than Amazon though.

1. Linux Mint Debian Edition if you must use Mint and stick with KDE plasma desktop on whichever distro. I'd recommend avoiding ubuntu and Manjaro.
2. Xournal++ is the only one for this purpose I've heard recommended. I use Zim for what I need.
3. It's going to be slow and will wear out the SD card eventually but it deserves consideration. I strongly recommend keeping the already installed Windows and using a SD card or USB C drive for Linux, particularly if you're still intending to actively use it for note taking. You could use a USB C device like a NVMe enclosure or something that supports UAS and get good speed on the Linux install if the Surface supports UAS.
4. Nothing to offer.
5. Make sure your backups of anything you don't want to lose on the Surface are up to date before you start anything. Linux installers will normally prefer an internal disk so if you forget to change that when installing all those files will be gone.

Grub-hook is what I use to prevent this exact situation.

I'd suggest trying out Bazzite Linux. It's the closest to SteamOS and has a lot of tweaks already installed.

NixOS Arch SteamOS Debian

I wouldn't bet on that, you'd be wrong.

Snapdragon is an ARM CPU which means if you can find a distro to run on it, it'll likely be an Android custom ROM, whereas Celeron is x86 and should run most Linux distros without issue.
