Tile need a porous substrate, like unseal concrete.
Etching the surface with muratic acid should be fine.
The smell of that stuff is lethal, be sure to ventilate.
If you're not sure, stick a scrap piece of tile in an obscure corner, give it a day to set up, and see if it's stuck.
I've seen tile over linoleum that we had to break up with a chipping hammer, mainly because the grout had it locked in, but I definitely wouldn't recommend it.
Some of the laminate woods come out looking real nice.
Saw one recently but don't recall the brand (useless info, sorry).
