| Jun 24, 2021 at 1:32 | comment | added | C.S.Cameron | @Thomas Ward: There was nothing uncivil, condescending or abrasive intended in my comment. Tendon asked for a rule in his comment and I suggested one. I was also defending my spending time researching a subject before asking the question or giving answers. No offense intended. | |
| Jun 23, 2021 at 19:44 | comment | added | Thomas Ward Mod | @C.S.Cameron Another rule that everyone can understand is how to be civil with your statements, of which you continue to grate against that rule. Be less condescending and less abrasive with your behavior, as we have warned you about numerous times. | |
| Jun 23, 2021 at 6:57 | comment | added | C.S.Cameron | One rule that everyone can understand is not to answer questions that you do not understand and have never researched. | |
| Jun 22, 2021 at 14:29 | comment | added | terdon | @C.S.Cameron we are not "required" to do anything at all! However, this is a community run site, so we need rules that the community can understand. This includes rules for what is and is not on topic since we need people to be able to vote and vote correctly. So, "it is on topic if you know for a fact that the question is 100% applicable to Ubuntu" is a rule that only the most expert users can follow and therefore cannot be applied here. We need a rule that everyone can understand, so one that requires you to have spent a week perusing an OS isn't practical for obvious reasons. | |
| Jun 22, 2021 at 14:24 | comment | added | C.S.Cameron | I would hope our users would not be answering questions about an OS they are not familiar with. We are not required to answer all questions, just the ones we know something about. (This of course is based on an ideal world). | |
| Jun 22, 2021 at 13:44 | comment | added | terdon | @C.S.Cameron I am sure you're right. The question is, how can the rest of us know? How can we have a general rule that does not require our users to have detailed knowledge of each of the dozens Ubuntu-derived distributions out there? | |

From what I can see by perusing CAELinux for about a week, is that it is Xubuntu. There are a few extra programs added and a few logos are revised, but CAELinux is as much Xubuntu as if I made the modifications myself. xfce4-about and Hardinfo tell us that.

| Jun 22, 2021 at 13:38 | comment | added | terdon | @C.S.Cameron if you want to argue that anything based on Ubuntu should be on topic, I might even agree with you. But that is a different discussion. Feel free to open it, but please make sure to have a way of deciding what is and is not on topic. Should Debian be on topic since Ubuntu is based on Debian? Should Mint be on topic? Should we change the name of the site to something else? | |
| Jun 22, 2021 at 13:36 | comment | added | terdon | @C.S.Cameron of course. And a person using Arch Linux could say they are using Kubuntu instead. We can't help that. The point is that this site, from the very beginning, has been focused on Ubuntu and has decided that non-Ubuntu is off topic. Since there is no clear way of deciding if something is or is not Ubuntu and since we have decided that only Ubuntu is on topic, we need to find a way of drawing the line. So the line is drawn at the official Ubuntu flavors. I have no idea what you even mean by "impressing", so I'll ignore that part of your comment. | |
| Jun 22, 2021 at 13:18 | comment | added | C.S.Cameron | In that case, a person wanting help with CAELinux just needs to say they are using Xubuntu and there is nothing we can do about it. What is the use of trying to ban it, that would be impossible? Trying to draw a line with CAELinux would not impress anybody, except ourselves. | |
