The kind imagined by someone not familiar with how guns work. Similar to the pump action shotgun in movies that gets racked over and over just to punctuate the actor's lines.

It might not be able to melt the missile fast enough before the warhead gets within effective range. Missiles in The Expanse travel really fast.

To answer your questions:

  1. Since this is a one-time backup, the easiest way is to copy your files to the external drive, install Linux, then copy them back to the SSD. I don't know if it's possible to preserve the Windows metadata though since that data isn't stored in normal, user-accessible files. Folder structure will be preserved though, and you can keep the same creation and last-modified dates using the cp command with the --preserve option.

  2. The normal file copy/paste commands will work fine. If you want to do periodic backups, look at rsync.

  3. LibreOffice will open most Microsoft Office files, and Linux has many FOSS alternatives to common commercial software. You can also look at Wine to run native Windows programs under Linux.

Genetics is, in fact, a science, and it allows for offspring to grow to be bigger than their parents.

Oh my God that's evil. Better hope the Microsoft execs don't see this.
