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 linears are fine for typing, but if you don't like them for that then that is fine. Swap the switches!
