You shouldn't. You need a surface that will allow the adhesive to make a good bond to. There are different types, read the instructions for the one you buy and apply it to the recommended sub floor.
No. You have to glue your linoleum on the hard surface, but Laminate is a floating floor and always move.
Yes. Follow CBB mfr's directions, but any time over linoleum, a high-quality modified thinset is required.
That would depend on whether they are ceramic tiles or more vinyl tiles.
Spreads the weight over a larger area so you dont crack or break the roofing tiles, they are made of clay & break easily
No, slate requires a mud bed or cement board subfloor.
Yes, if the flooring is level, uncracked, and has no loose pieces. You will need to strip the surface of the slate to ensure no residue remains that would not allow the mortar to bond.

What is under the linoleum? If it is stuck down well, you can put new tiles on there once. However, if you get to "the bottom of things," you may be able to fill in any dips in the floor and correct any other issues that will make your vinyl tiles look even better. It will take elbow grease and a crowbar and some major adhesive remover to take off the linoleum, but it can be done. If you choose to tile over the linoleum, make sure it is super clean and free of any grease.

There are many difference between slate tile and ceramic tile 1. Slate tiles are natural. Ceramic tiles are synthetically created. 2. Slate tiles are more durable. Ceramic tiles are less durable.
That will be fine.
Yes, but it would have to be floating engineered wood.
No, the laminate is in 3-4" strips and has too much flex to it.You'll end up with cracks and/or ripples.
In essence this is a matter of aesthetics and cost in comparison to granite. Slate offers no real advantage over granite except that it costs less and some people prefer the appearance. Slate has a longer lifespan than ceramic and is more expensive.
