Man I had something similar and for the life of me could not get it up. Home built in 1978. It was the whole basement. I finally ended up just bleaching the whole thing 3x to make sure it was good and clean, vacuuming it a couple times and had carpet installed overtop of it. Wasn’t ideal, but nothing I tried would have gotten the glue up barring scrapping it inch by and and I wasn’t doing that

Ugh. I could put lino over the lino… it seems perverse, though.

Sure does. Linoleum is fucking disgusting IMO.

Same but I’m struggling to think of a better floor that works with the requirements/space.

I really struggled with the idea of leaving the glue down. FWIW after I cleaned the ever loving shit out of it (after scraping as much as possible), I’m at ease with it now.
