I have found a few questions that look like they should belong in the Unix and Linux Stack Exchange. What should Ask Ubuntu questions involve that sets them apart from the ones in Unix/Linux SE?

    Why not link to the questions? But basically, usually questions about unofficial derivatives can be migrated over.

    In such cases, if I know the answer, I generally answer it in short such that the person gets rid of the problem and provide links for further reading, explanation, and appropriate fora.

Anything that makes is an unofficial derivative is a candidate.

Anything that doesn't directly relate to Ubuntu or use on Ubuntu is a candidate.

It's CW so feel free to add candidate indicators.

  • What about questions that involve a low-level part of Ubuntu, or a GTK programming question? How technically deep is "too much"?

    That's a soft limit. If it get's answered here, great. Generally, the idea is: put it where it gets fixed and cross-link it if required

  • What about the common rule observed, reading as "Don't migrate crap?" What would be the cutoff for a question's quality?

  • @ObsessiveSSOℲ of course. I thought we were addressing indicators, not copy pasting the FAQ.
