And anyway yes, you're raising another good point. An user is not supposed to know this, and actually the site's description mentions "Ubuntu-related" as opposed to "Ubuntu-specific". Until the site's description will mention "Ubuntu-related" and not "Ubuntu-specific", a sudo question will keep being on-topic here.

| Oct 10, 2015 at 14:14 | comment | added | kos | Thanks for your answer. The problem here is not about experts-only / wider public, but that there are topics that (much as in other SE sites) overlap multiple sites. Normally questions should be posted in the more appropriate site, but here there's no "more appropriate" site. Questions like yours are on-topic on both sites. If someone asks for help here, they will get an Ubuntu-related solution of course. If they ask on Unix & Linux, cool. | |
