| May 18, 2018 at 21:49 | comment | added | Mark Kirby | I kind of agree with you, perhaps opinion based was the wrong close reason. That said, I would close your question as too broad. A good single answer cannont be given because everyone will have their own experiance with the issue, so either way it is off topic, as it cannot be answerd and it should be closed, the reason is a minor consideration. FYI ranting, caps lock and boarder line insulting people, will not help your cause. This is NOT a discussion forum. | |
| May 18, 2018 at 21:13 | comment | added | Fabby | @RobertSederholm Simple rule: If you expect one answer to your question, it's a good question. If you expect multiple answers, it's a bad question and not for this site: got to ubuntuforums.com instead. That's the difference between the Ask Ubuntu and UbuntuForums. | |
| May 18, 2018 at 20:53 | comment | added | Robert Sederholm | Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than on facts, references, or specific expertise. I wanted facts, like screenshots, etc. Not opinions. I wanted someone to be like, yeah I'm using 40% RAM whereas when I was running the same apps doing about the same thing on 16.04 I was using 20%. Of course that invites some opinion-based answers, but now, because of you, the 200 something'th person to read my question, I don't even have the option to disregard them. | |

| May 18, 2018 at 20:48 | comment | added | Robert Sederholm | Yeah but nobody can read it now that it's inactive, huh?? it'll disappear from the front page in a half hour and be forgotten about in an hour. | |
| May 18, 2018 at 20:38 | comment | added | Thomas Ward Mod | You need to read the help center, and realize this is not a forum site where you can get input from users about how something affects them in an open-ended discussion-like format where you pose a question and get subjective replies Both of your questions don't fit into the way that we expect questions and answers, per my analysis. The community at large is free to disagree and if there are enough people in agreement can reopen the post. You weren't being punished, though, and you aren't the only one to get their question closed that's similar to this for the same or similar reasons. | |

| May 18, 2018 at 20:36 | comment | added | Robert Sederholm | Exactly, that would give me an idea of what kind of systems are deeply affected and what to avoid upgrading, etc. Totally not the wrong place to ask the question, I had a ton of views before you closed my question, nobody else saw a problem with it. Just you. | |
| May 18, 2018 at 20:35 | comment | added | Thomas Ward Mod | No, again you're asking too broad a question. "How does this affect you?" again drives specific answers but is not answerable within the scope, which needs to have a specific question that can be answered with supporting evidence and facts, not "How does this affect you" which will vary person to person and deployment to deployment. | |
| May 18, 2018 at 20:34 | comment | added | Robert Sederholm | It's NOT worth upgrading if it's got a bug that makes the system wholly unusable. That is not an opinion, it is a fact. I'll go to Ubuntu Forums, because you apparently don't like that I pointed out one of the major downfalls of 18.04. Thanks. | |
| May 18, 2018 at 20:33 | comment | added | Robert Sederholm | So if I said, "How is the memory leak affecting you?" That would be acceptable? | |
| May 18, 2018 at 20:31 | comment | added | Thomas Ward Mod | Your core question was "is it worth upgrading" and "what you all think about the memleak problem". This isn't a forum - this is a Q/A site that has restrictions about the types of questions you can ask. Your question says "Is it worth upgrading?" (opinion-based) or "What do you all think about the problem?" (also open-ended, and opinion based). The other problem is you don't ask a specific question that is answerable within the scope, which makes it "Too Broad" as well. | |
