My in-laws' lake place has tongue and groove flooring on some of the ceilings and walls without any visible fasteners, so it is possible to do it but I don't know exactly how it was done.

Just nail into the framing, driving at an angle from the top of the tongue back toward the back of the plank.
Using a mallet-driven flooring nailer will be light-years easier than attempting to do this by hand. Plus, the special J-shaped, ridge-shanked nails you use with one of those are the nail for holding flooring in place.

Yeah, laminate, probably 7mm thick. Too thin to nail through the tongue. PL Advanced construction adhesive will not release. You need to make sure that is what you want to do, because any changes will require possible sheetrock removal. Another product to use would be tile mastic, since the back of the laminate is smooth, it will adhere well. Trowel it on the wall using a 1/8" v notched trowel, apply your laminate.
