Found my old Kobo touch... saw you can put linux on it!

So.. I Found my original Kobo touch and I'm planning on putting linux on it to use as a kind of calendar/todo/clock type thing and had a few questions around specifically running linux on it.

Firstly, what is the maximum size/speed of sd card I can use? I saw 16gb mentioned.. I was wondering if larger ones are able to be used? I have a lot of spare cards but I don't think I have anything smaller than 32gb...

I would like to use it as a kind of desktop notification tool, maybe with access to local weather, a pomodoro timer, maybe emails or some kind of notification saying how many emails I have, If I can't access them from it, and if possible an mpd client that would control the media server but show the track details.

I'm guessing there will not be an out of the box solution, but I have been looking into learning some kind of programming. What would be a good language to learn to build applications for the things I want? I currently have linux mint debian edition as my main os so not a total linux noob.

If I need to break things down a bit clearer let me know. I have adhd and I know my written communication skills tend to be a bit vague and rambling, so sorry in advance!
