linear switch (red, black) and tactile (brown) are also quite silent switches.

Tactile = you will experience a bump upon reach the actuation force.

Take a look at both MX Black (linear) and MX Brown (tactile). You will notice MX Brown (tactile), "pin" moved 2 times when the switch is pressed.
The tactile bump/feedback notify the keyboard user the key is pressed.
So, tactile switch is good for typing use.
