Assuming the SD reader is USB based that is (even internal readers are usually USB based)

Many newer designs are actually PCI express or directly integrated in the chipset, taking advantage of Intel's attempt to make a competitive offer to tablet makers by adding truckloads of integrated features create a government backdoor dominate the world - they usually support 3 SDs, one is the main SSD in tablets and the cheapest laptops, another is the SDIO wifi in tablets, and the last one is a regular (well, flimsy) (micro)SD slot :)

And yes, for whatever reason the SD drive is rarely bootable although the soldered-in one is
(I have one such tablet and it's ridiculous to have to find an external reader to install an OS, lol)

So is the SD card slot on the Dell Latitude XT2 bootable? (It is the one soldered to the main board.)

Don't know, it looks PCI express given the mounting on the motherboard (not that I could find good pics in 2 minutes), but if you can run Linux you can check yourself - do cards appear as /dev/sd? (USB that emulates a generic USB drive) or /dev/mmcblk? (native interface that supports all special commands, but typically not bootable)?

@The Real Jdbye , for some reason... when I live boot Mint... there are a lot of graphical errors in the text.

Should go away once you install the proprietary drivers. Hopefully.
There shouldn't be graphical glitches to begin with since it should be using generic PnP drivers that work with everything so that's a bit odd. But it might have something to do with not entirely compatible video modes. I've had issues like that in the past. IIRC I had the choice between Xorg and Xvesa or Xorg and something else when selecting the video options in the boot menu that was on the live CD. One worked fine but the other didn't. The menu itself didn't have any glitches though.
If you see any options like that in the boot menu try changing them.

As someone who plays games almost exclusively on Linux (I have some old consoles as well) I avoid Ubuntu like the plague. Every time I've had issues like games crashing when I alt-tab. Sound breaking mid-game for no reason and general instability.

Solus, Majaro, Fedora are FAR better if you're planning on running steam games. Most people go for Ubuntu because its what Valve recommends. But then the steam installer doesn't support the 64 bit version properly out of the box.

Today I will install it on a USB. Now, how do I make programs install to a microSD and not the USB? I don't want to clutter the USB with Steam and Minecraft.

I'd recommend making a mount point for your home directory. Steam installs games by default to that, while minecraft can be put where ever you fancy. Here's the documentation for ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MoveMountpointHowto

You can also do it in the installer. But seeing as it seems like your using a live USB, you'll probably either have to do it via terminal, or with gnome disk utility and some clever file copying.

Oh. Might want to consider getting a new one soon then. An USB flash drive will probably work just fine, but you'll be really limited on space and having the USB drive tethered to the PC at all times is a bit of a hassle.

The battery has also lost 94% of its capacity. XD
