"it well be nice if adobe can in included linear profiles to.. 🙂 or just make it easier to turn every thing of so you get as flat RAW as possible."
Starting with LR 7.3 Adobe added six new 'Adobe Raw' camera profiles including one named 'Adobe Neutral.' The Adobe Neutral profile has a tone curve very close to linear, but without any exposure shift. The DPE created Adobe Standard linear tone curve camera profile shifts exposure in the image by about -.90 EV (see below), which makes it difficult to compare the rendering of different profiles. Give Adobe Neutral a try!

You can use the Adobe DNG Profile Editor (DPE) to change the Base Tone Curve of any camera profile to linear. Instructions here:

https://trentsizemore.com/blog/using-a-linear-camera-calibration-profile/

The DPE edited camera profile needs to be exported to the following folder and LR restarted to load it:

Windows—C: \ Users \ [your username] \ AppData \ Roaming \ Adobe \ CameraRaw \ CameraProfiles \

Mac—Macintosh HD / Users / [your username] / Library / Application Support / Adobe / CameraRaw / CameraProfiles /

why you need to add ****** contrast with an existing "non linear" profile(s) and at the same time don't need to add ****** contrast with linear (which one might assume has less contrast baked in LUTs inside) ? unless you mean not "add" but the opposite
