What's the difference...?
Answers: While most people use the words interchangeably, the two are not like. Linoleum was invented I meditate in the middle 1800's and is made from hardened linseed grease and wood or cork dust. It is still used in some commercial applications because of its extreme durability. Linoleum is not usually hugely attractive but since it is the same colour throughout, it will wear for copious decades.
Vinyl flooring is largely a residential replacement of linoleum. It is much thinner, and has a feel or plastic backing. It comes surrounded by many colours and pattern.
Linoleum is a natural fabric, made of among other things horse hair, cork and linseed (or it might be marmoleum). Linoleum and marmoleum are environmentally friendly to craft as they are made from natural materials, Vinyl is purely man made.
