This is a helpful thread but unfortunately you can change the natural behavior of a suspension by adding or removing tokens or tuning the rebound settings. If it’s designed to be progressive you can turn it less progressive but ain’t going to perform like a suspension developed to be linear. This is a equation that involves the architecture of the rear triangle, your own weight, the kinematics of the bike, the geometry as well, and the shocks
If you want to dive into the dynamics of specific suspension designs on individual bikes, here's a great reference. It will also help you understand why you can't simply move a shock from one bike to another (forks of course are largely interchangeable within some basic geometry guidelines).
