I'm not sure the best way to approach this. What's the best way to remove the lino?

"Hello?"
"Hi, is that Larry the labourer?"
"Yes"
"I've got a job for you"...

Will the leftover glue not cause issues with the tile adhesive?

Floorboards. I guess I remove as much as possible, prime, use S2 adhesive and screws to fit cementboard's and then tile?

What's under the lino? Thin ply ? Just pull the whole thing up if it is.
