| Apr 3, 2018 at 19:42 | comment | added | Zanna Mod | Using "off-topic" that way seems perfectly reasonable. I'm not even exactly sure what I mean by "off-topic" now I think about it (something to do with how the close reasons are arranged I guess), so probably other people don't share my interpretation! Anyway, to me at least this answer seems completely clear now so +1 | |
| Apr 3, 2018 at 19:28 | comment | added | terdon Mod | @Zanna I use "off topic" as a blanket term for "questions that don't belong here". Quite possibly mistakenly, but that's how I think of it. But I edited the answer to avoid the term. My point was that the question doesn't fit AU. | |

| Apr 3, 2018 at 18:25 | comment | added | Zanna Mod | @pomsky yes, I see that and I am OK with that reason too. But terdon's answer says "it is completely off topic" so I'm seeking clarification, because my understanding (based on previous meta posts) is that questions asking for software recommendations on Ubuntu are not off topic, they just need to be suitably focussed to avoid getting closed as too broad or perhaps POB. But maybe there is another reason why this is off topic that I have missed. | |
| Apr 3, 2018 at 18:19 | comment | added | pomsky | @Zanna I think it's marked as "primarily opinion-based", not "off topic" | |
| Apr 3, 2018 at 16:33 | comment | added | Zanna Mod | I agree with the question being closed and locked, but I didn't think it was off topic (rather than too broad, which I think it is)... why is this question off topic? | |
| Apr 3, 2018 at 13:25 | comment | added | pomsky | Thanks! I also thought that's best course of action. | |
