No, but cooking pots could fall and those have sharp lips which will indent the floor. Same with other hardware like cutlery.
And I will handle knives more likely in the kitchen than in the living room.
What else are you going to put in the kitchen though, carpet?
Laminate
Of course not, that's what linoleum is for
That's what I was thinking. Linoleum can be ugly and will cut/dent easy, but it's the cheapest to replace.
Tiling
That's like 5x the cost though and you're likely to break anything you drop onto it like dishes or bottles.
Our kitchen has laminate plank flooring and it has held up really well. I believe it's original which means it's made it 22ish years so far with part of that time being a rental full of college kids who apparently stored all their literal garbage in the garage and put a bunch of holes in the walls.
Ceramic tile is tough as hell and cleans easily.
