Your data doesn't need to be linear to use a linear regression. The linearity is in the parameters. Ex: Y = Bo + B1X + B2X**2 Is a linear regression You can do non linear transformations to the X

https://youtu.be/Hwj_9wMXDVo will explain why linear regression can map non-linear functions. Just have some features squared or cubed, etc. That allows linear regression to map the most complicated non-linear functions possible.
