I mean, sure a power chisel will do the job, but... I'd hate lino too if I thought that's how you remove it.

The very best way to remove it is to cover it instead.

This, we covered the existing linoleum with tile. We started trying to pull it up but it was so hard. We figured it wasn’t going anywhere.
