You can measure things with a linear scale. Practically impossible with a non-linear scale.
Linear is a straight line and non linear could be a curve or anything but a straight line
Nonlinear do not satisfy the superposition principle. Linear problems, as implied, do.
Linear graphs make straight lines. Non-linear graphs make thins like parabolas, hyperbolas, and ellipses.
