What’s a good studio quality microphone for Linux?

If you are connecting via your sound card, software and OS are irrelevant - there are no drivers or anything, it’s purely an analogue signal.

Any high quality condenser microphone will work nicely. I like the Sennheiser MKH line, but there are lots of quality mics out there.

Boot a Linux OS from a Zune

Is there any way to boot a Linux OS from a Zune?

No, but you can just burn the Linus OS portable onto a CD, then when starting press F12 or something to boot from disk.
Thats probably the easiest way. I think you can boot from a flash drive aswell, but I’m not 100% sure. If you can I think the zune would work. Look up booting from flashdrives.
Also, Zune/mp4s don’t have heavy duty harddrives like a computer, so it’s not best to be running a 200mb OS off it thats constantly reading, it could be damaging for your zune

How hard is it to use Ubuntu Linux?

You won’t necessarily need programming experience. There are several flavours of Ubuntu using a different desktop env. The standard is Gnome but you can get Kubuntu that uses KDE. I went with the std Gnome. The windowing will be very familiar whichever you use but there are some difference key chords that you will need learn.

For your printer finding a driver for an unsupported printer is not usually a problem unless you have a very new printer or an unusual printer. You can search from within Ubuntu repositories.

Not sure if you can run iTunes. Sorry
