Seems like a terrible idea to me.

You make one mistake one time and bingo, you cost yourself a few grand to have it sanded, leveled, varnished, and polished.

Wow it’s actually 1860. I didn’t know they had plastic that far back. I would have guessed 1950.

Linoleum isn’t plastic, you may be thinking of vinyl flooring which looks similar. Vinyl is cheaper and newer while appearing very similar to linoleum.
