I have found OP1 (from 2019) How to Set Different Layouts for 2 Keyboards and OP2 https://askubuntu.com/questions/1353786/can-i-set-different-languages-to-2-keyboards (recent), which is an obvious dupe of OP1.

I mean to flag OP1 as a dupe, but I get a "greyed out" Vote to close button

So, the fact that an original question does not have any upvoted or accepted answer precludes others being flagged as dupes. I don't see the rationale for this. The nature of a dupe would not depend on the answers, I guess.

1. Can someone explain the rationale?

Notes

1. OP2 seems in turn a dupe of the linked OP3 Xsetkbmap, odd behaviour using the device option, as per this.
2. I found a few questions Q1, Q2, ..., related to this one in Meta, but if I understand correctly they do not ask the same as I am asking here. Moreover, they seem to imply that the OPs of Q1, ..., do not see the limitation I am seeing

Flagging Duplicate questions when answers are not accepted

Should a question be flagged as duplicate even if the question (older) pointed to as the duplicate has no answers?

Are we doing anything differently with duplicates when there is no answer?

2. Can someone explain why these other people can apparently flag dupes under conditions I cannot?

PS: What should I do If I can't flag as duplicate because answer is neither accepted nor upvoted? sees the same limitation as I do.
