| Sep 23, 2021 at 5:00 | comment | added | Archisman Panigrahi | @waltinator I am suggesting to show a warning message like "questions related to PopOS, unless explicitly about Ubuntu, are off topic". Of course the users should still be allowed to post any question regardless of the keywords. | |
| Sep 23, 2021 at 0:59 | comment | added | waltinator | Simply matching keywords "Kali", "PopOS" will preclude questions like "PopOS has a feature I like, is there a Ubuntu alternative?" | |

| Dec 26, 2020 at 17:35 | comment | added | BeastOfCaerbannog | Archiman's proposal could help actively direct the users asking about a not supported OS to the right Stack Exchange community before they ask the question. This could reduce the number of questions that would need to get closed for this reason and would also let reviewers focus on the rest of the questions in the Close Votes queue. | |
| Dec 26, 2020 at 17:35 | comment | added | BeastOfCaerbannog | @ThomasWard The Help Center informs about this, but I doubt that many new users would spend time reading that info. They just want to ask a question and get an answer for their problem as fast as possible (I'm not accusing them for that). Indeed their question about a not supported OS will get closed sooner or later, but many times quite an effort is required for a question to be closed, especially when not many reviewers are around (as it is recently). | |

| Dec 24, 2020 at 15:17 | comment | added | Thomas Ward Mod | We already have statements in the Help Center about this - users who don't read the help center and the initial "welcome" pages are ultimately destined for closure in those cases. Just saying. | |

| Dec 24, 2020 at 6:38 | comment | added | Archisman Panigrahi | This question discusses about a script that would detect keywords, which may result in a lot of false positives (i.e. more work for moderators). I suggest we show this to all new users. Maybe we can also show to not so new users if these keywords are detected, but we won't let any AI send it to review queue. | |
