Many things can go over ceramic with ease, but the "best" option is one which works in the room you're doing. For example, laminate flooring is most forgiving of the unevenness (groutlines) of ceramic tile and easiest to install - but I would not put laminate in a bathroom (it's not moisture resistant). For a bathroom, the best option over ceramic is sheet vinyl. Be sure to use leveling compound to smooth grout lines even with the surface of tiles first.

Yes, it is possible to install granite tiles over existing ceramic tile flooring, but it requires proper preparation and consideration. The ceramic tile surface should be thoroughly cleaned, and any loose or damaged tiles should be repaired or replaced. The surface should be level and free from any residue or debris. Applying a bonding agent or primer can improve adhesion. It's important to note that adding granite tiles will increase the height of the floor, so door clearances and transitions may need adjustment. Consulting with a professional installer or contractor can ensure proper installation and address any specific requirements or challenges.
If the concrete is indoors, dry, and in good shape, yes.
yes, but it will slide over the years so I would not
If it sits over a cement floor, then no. If it is a nailed down floor, then you can, but you still have to install a cement board.
Ceramic. Ceramic.
Yes, but it would have to be floating engineered wood.
I do not think that is a good idea.The rubber flooring should be removed and then new ceramic flooring should be laid on.
yes.
It is best to remove the vinyl tile. If it is not on cement and is on wood you can install cement backer board. Be sure to put thin set under the board. If you spend the money and time to install ceramic tile and the vinyl tile comes loose all that $ is down the drain What is the best tile cement to use and this cement tile can be installed on vinyl tile and install ceramic tile on it
yes just prep your your tile with ardex
The engineered flooring can be either floated above or glued to the concrete.

No, you should never do that, it will defeat the purpose of having ceramic tile and it does not look good.
It depends on the condition, material and surface of the laminate. A linolium floor, for example, is soft composition with a textured surface. This makes a horrible foundation for ceramic tile, giving room to crack the grout between tiles. A hardwood-type laminate is smoother and harder which is a better foundation. That said, the best thing to do is rip the laminate out and start fresh.
