Linear is a purpose-built issue tracking and project management system designed for software engineering teams. It prioritizes high-performance synchronization and keyboard-driven workflows to streamline the product development lifecycle from initial triage to feature release.
Previously, our team used Jenkins. However, since it's a shared deployment resource we don't have admin access. We tried GoCD as it's open source and we really like. We set up our deployment pipeline to run whenever codes are merged to master, run the unit test and revert back if it doesn't pass. Once it's deployed to the staging environment, we can simply do 1-click to deploy the appropriate version to production. We use this to deploy to an on-prem server and also AWS. Some deployment pipelines use custom Powershell script for.Net application, some others use Bash script to execute the docker push and cloud formation template to build elastic beanstalk.

Linear is particularly well suited for teams that need a fast, intuitive way to organize and prioritize work across multiple projects. In my experience, it's been especially useful for tracking client work by priority, assignee, and project, while providing clear visibility into ownership and progress. Its clean interface makes it easy.

Pipeline-as-Code works really well. All our pipelines are defined in yml files, which are checked into SCM.
The ability to link multiple pipelines together is really cool. Later pipelines can declare a dependency to pick up the build artifacts of earlier ones.
Agents definition is really great. We can define multiple different kinds of environments to best suit our diverse build systems.

Linear is missing documentation features like Jira Confluence. We can use Notion but it would have been great if Linear offered more comprehensive solution
Eventhough we can manage releases with projects, it is hard to manage them when there are multiple projects being released at the same time. The initiatives feature kind of handles this but if we can assign tasks to a release that would be awesome
Being able to invite guests without costing extra money. Platforms like Clickup allow you to invite a limited no of guests without costing extra money.
Linear is not good if you are software services company and want to manage multiple client projects. Linear is built for product teams.

I already spoke to this in a previous question but, if you've ever used Jira, Linear should feel quite natural. It is a project management tool rooted in issues/tickets to which you can also add sub-tasks and various details. There is some customization but Linear has attempted to shape its offering as the most essential features necessary for this type of work.

GoCD is easier to setup, but harder to customize at runtime. There's no way to trigger a pipeline with custom parameters.
Jenkins is more flexible at runtime. You can define multiple user-provided parameters so when user needs to trigger a build, there's a form for him/her to input the parameters.

When we are using jira it felt light the application itself is very heavy usage and the UI feel like boring and features were not good as compared to Linear. As QA when shifted to Linear i felt huge difference in process of ticket creation and tracking compared to jira and sometimes Jira would get stuck, but Linear didn't.

Settings.xml need to be backed up periodically. It contains all the settings for your pipelines! We accidentally deleted before and we have to restore and re-create several missing pipelines
More straight forward use of API and allows filtering e.g., pull all pipelines triggered after this date
