I can be pretty thick sometimes but I _am_ smart enough to be able to change views in task tracking software ;-). If Linear supports disabling cycles then that's a new development... when we tried we had two others plus myself look at it and it simply wasn't an available option. Whether this was due to us not having a feature flag turned on or the wrong tier plan or what I can't say. Their method [1] specifically speaks to being rigid and working in cycles so I'm inclined to believe that this is a semi-recent change.
Haha sorry, I didn't mean to insinuate that. It's a tiny button though and not obvious. Was just taking a guess because it can be easy to miss and some of our users did at first.
I first opened my personal Linear account in 2020 and the default was no Cycles. I created a new team in that account today and it's the default.
I opened new one somewhat recently (2 months ago) for my company and the default was to have them off too.
The docs for Cycles say that here too: https://linear.app/docs/use-cycles#configure
Maybe you didn't have admin permissions on your team? Not sure.
My guess is you wanted a Kanban board but didn't realize you can change the standard ticket view to a board view? If you're in the Active issue view for your team you can click the boxes icon at the top right (or hit cmd-b) to get a kanban view.
