Both the linoleum and carpet are probably the same temperature, but linoleum will feel colder to the touch. This is because the thermal properties of linoleum will more quickly cool your warm skin. The actual thermal property is called thermal effusivity, which is a combination of density, conductivity, and speicific heat. When a hot and cold surface touch, there will be a contact temperature that is determined by the ratio of the effusivity of the two materials (skin vs linoleum in this case). Linoleum isn't that bad, a stone floor will feel much colder.
