tile
I plan to install Porcelin tiles over Linonium, The issue is with the dishwasher clearance. I was told not to lay tiles under the dishwasher. My worry is, how the dishwasher will be taken out once the tiles are laid. The current height of the counter is 34 1/2 inch and dish washer needs 34 inch minimum.
I saw some other post where it was suggested to remove the adjuster nut from the feet in order to get the dishwasher in.
Any guidance is appreciated.
Yes you can - and even if the floor is slightly irregular, your application of thinset can even the top layer and make it nice and solid and true.
Here's an example - my own basement (not done by me - in fact about to be removed by me - but still...)
You should put tub and tile backer board down on the floor where the shower will be and then once the tub is installed tile up to the edge. You dont want tile underneath as it may or may not end up level, it may or may not come loose after weight is put onto it, and most importantly grout is not waterproof...it will absorb water and you definitely dont want that under the shower.

Most dishwashers have adjustable feet that allow you to position them properly in the space.
Just be sure you have enough clearance so that you can lower the height enough to get the dishwasher out even with the tiles installed.
BTW - I'm not sure I'd lay tile over vinyl flooring (I assume it's vinyl and you're just calling it linoleum) as you might have difficulty with the setting compound adhering. Be sure whatever product you use specifies that it will work on that base. Check with the product manufacturer if it's unclear.
