Are linear switches bad for typing? (lemmy.ml)

I'll preface this by saying I've only used cherry mx brown switches before.

Recently I decided to try Akko Silver linear switch, and while it feels great when I'm gaming, for work I've been getting the tips of my fingertips hurting. Is it just me or are they not for this sort of thing?

I think it's preference. I like to glide my fingers over the keys and rest lightly on them. On a linear board I'll accidentally press many keys doing that.
