I recently had this question that I asked put on hold. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1030387/memory-leak-on-18-04-is-it-even-worth-upgrading-do-you-have-memory-leak-issu Now, this is not an opinion-based question. Some computers may respond differently to the memory leak than others (my Dell Optiplex 9010 seems tro use LESS RAM since the upgrade). All I wanted was feedback on how much memory is being hogged as compared to 16.04. Hell, I have a laptop I might upgrade, and based on user feedback, I may or may not upgrade it. It's easy to see this question as opinion-based-- I get it. However, feedback on this is important--- there's a huge difference between a small, perceived bug that hogs a little RAM and a huge one that affects user performance. If people noticed that 18.04 was UNUSABLY hogging all of their RAM, they could have given me feedback there. Now someone closed my question and I can't get that feedback. Just because Ubuntu shipped 18.04 before it was ready, doesn't mean people shouldn't be allowed to ask these kind of questions. Am I being punished, or would META be better for that kind of question?
