That's why I'd be prone to tolerate this kind of questions. Aside from that, whether is to be officially deemed on topic to ask about hardware compatibility, I agree on the fact that I don't want a list of compatible hardware etiher. But still as of now I can't see a reason to deny this, looking at the definition of off-topic. | |

Using the StackOverflow model we should be giving detailed and specific answers to well-formed and specific questions. To me, "Is this compatible?" seems no different than "Recommendation" from the standpoint of potential answers. | |

| May 4, 2015 at 16:58 | comment | added | kos | I think that excerpt refers to questions like "What is the best laptop for Ubuntu?" and such, i.e. questions that falls into the too broad / primarily opinion-based / spam category. | |
