Hello Smamaw1, THIS is the ONLY way to install porcelain tiles over linoleum (I'm not kidding -- unless you want to rip up all the flooring, THIS IS the ONLY way to lay porcelain tiles over linoleum).

I was going to say 'don't, ever, resilient surface meets immovable object' ...but watching his system? I will joyously admit to being outsmarted :)
if the subfloor is solid, and the linoleum in good shape? there's no reason this wouldn't work.
Gods, it's a joy to watch a good tile guy work, isn't it?
(my subfloor is damaged, won't help me...but I'm fascinated by the potential of this...)
All they did was prefab their own concrete floor in the video. Great concept. Too much cost, trouble , and work. I would just remove the lino and lay the new floor .
Not a very good idea unless the linoleum is solid and wont have a chance of peeling up. Other than that do it very carefully.
please take the linoleum up first
