I'm pretty sure you're going to have to use a live USB. You can't modify a partition while it's mounted and you can't unmount a partition that's in use.

Just go with Mint. However, if you want to get the most out of the device, you'll need to use linux-surface and that will involve a little command line usage to setup. Fortunately, the project has detailed instructions..

It was Fedora. Most of the recommendations for beginners at the time were for Ubuntu or derivatives and I was being contrary just because I could.

The title screen music from Katamari Damacy.

I think there were at least five books. There was also a cartoon that aired around ten years ago.

A series of novels for kids about a vampire rabbit. Instead of drinking blood he drains vegetables. It's told from the perspective of the other pets in the house. I read several of them like 20 years ago, so I don't remember much more.

Primus has the four Fisherman's Chronicles songs.

1. John the Fisherman
2. Fish On
3. The Ol' Diamondback Sturgeon
4. Last Salmon Man

Another thing that might count as an example is that Wings' Band on the Run and Helen Wheels both mention a character named Sailor Sam.

Edit: Added to post.

You would just install one of the KDE meta-packages. After that you can select the new desktop environment when you login again.

The only thing to note is that some settings don't always play nice between the two (for example one might overwrite settings on the other), so maybe consider making a new user account just to see if you like it.

What desktop environment are you using? KDE let's users do this pretty easily by just going into the color scheme settings. I'm not sure what the process is for other desktops these days.

Is it 32-bit? If it is, then that also severely limits your options. Personally, I just throw Debian or one of its derivatives on old hardware like that. You may want to consider Q4OS. It's Debian based and is geared specifically towards old and low-end hardware. Interestingly, it's also one of only a couple distros that ship with Trinity as a desktop environment.

Retro gaming is definitely doable with 2GB of RAM, considering that older Raspberry Pi boards can do it with just 1GB. In that case you could try Batocera.

Some other ideas include running something like Nextcloud or a media server on it on your home network. In that case, I'd again recommend Debian.

The Johto games have always been my favorites. Crystal in particular is really important to me. As a child I had been bullied (by other children, not adults, but the adults didn't exactly do anything to stop it) for not conforming to gender roles. While Pokémon in particular had a universal appeal, the toys were still in the boys' section at the store and I was always paranoid that someone would see me and the bullying would start again. Being able to play as a girl in Crystal was a revelation. It made me feel like I could be myself regardless of what other people thought.

I basically just stare at what's in front of me. I don't drive and I can't really do anything else because I'm highly prone to motion sickness.
