Because people often don't read, only see "Mint" or "Debian" and go to close automatically, which means they don't read. And what me and Panther are saying is that people voting to close should read and use discretion. In order to notice "oh, OP is using Ubuntu, we don't want to send them away form Ask Ubuntu", they actually have to pay attention. | |

| Oct 27, 2017 at 7:24 | comment | added | Dan | As @EliahKagan mentions, I'm not asking about non-Ubuntu questions. I don't mind non-Ubuntu users as long as their question is about Ubuntu. And if the question is a general Linux question and applies to Ubuntu, then why not? I wouldn't expect to send someone using Ubuntu away from Ask Ubuntu for having a question that may apply to other distros. | |
| Oct 27, 2017 at 6:58 | comment | added | Eliah Kagan | This meta question is about on-topic questions that mention another OS. But your answer seems to be about (a) questions that may apply to Ubuntu but are about different OS instead (we close those, which I consider reasonable, but stuff gets through and cracking down too hard isn't reasonable) or (b) questions that are completely on-topic but aren't Ubuntu-specific. | |
