| Jul 2, 2019 at 16:47 | comment | added | Zeiss Ikon | AskUbuntu is a Stack Exchange site -- it runs on questions and answers, rather than discussion. As such, there has to be a limit, and the site policy is that EOL releases are off topic. Historical questions (say, questions about 12.04 that were asked in 2013) may not get closed or deleted, but new questions on off topic releases might well be. One reason is that the solutions that worked in 2014 may not work now, because the referenced tools have changed. Another is that it's almost always more efficient to upgrade or reinstall to a supported version than try to fix the old one. | |
| Jul 2, 2019 at 16:43 | comment | added | jrcichra | Is there a policy on AskUbuntu to close questions related to unsupported versions of Ubuntu, even if they went out of support within the last few months? I was under the impression that sites like "AskUbuntu" did not rely on the support model of the product, but were rather a discussion place for all things Ubuntu, supported or not. | |
