Can linoleum be placed over ceramic tile?

I hate my tile. It was cheap outside tile that someone installed and it shows dirt and the grout is impossible to keep clean.

    no, the grout lines will show thru. You can put floor leveler over it and then put down vinyl but you would be better served to remove the tile and start over to get the best surface to lay on.

    Yes it is possible but the wear, over time, will show you the tile pattern beneath. It is better not to.

    It's easier to clean up the tile then to cover it. You can't put anything over tile without hearing crackling every step. To do it right, you need to take out the tile.

    No, you cannot . It will not work for more reasons than I care to list but the bottom line is that if you hate it that much , you will delight in busting it up with a chisel and a sledge hammer .

    No you can't BUT you can dye the grout to a dark color. Then you don't have to worry about keeping it clean so much.
