Yep linear is smooth. The different actions of mechanical switches are indicated by their colour, so you'll see keyboards advertised with 'red switches', 'blue switches' etc. The most common are red, blue, black and brown.
Red - Smooth, light pressure needed to activate
Black - Smooth, heavier pressure needed to activate
Blue - Clicky
Brown - In between smooth and clicky
You'll find people are VERY fond of one particular colour over another.
If you're curious to compare the keys without buying multiple keyboards, you can buy a sampler such as this one. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cherry-Swit.../dp/B01GZHU1EG
