Do we need the `setup` tag?

Question

Do we need an actual setup tag? I mean, for all intents and purposes, installation should suffice for setup questions related to Ubuntu, no?

Answer 1

We don't need these to be separate tags. setup should be made a synonym of installation.

installation does apply to things other than Ubuntu as a whole (I can install a program, which would be within the scope of that tag ...I can install more memory in my computer, which might not be within that scope.) But so can setup. I doubt we gain anything by having these as separate tags.

As a separate point, as Seth says, setup seems to refer to an even wider range of unrelated topics than installation, with less clarity as to what falls in its scope. I can set up a new user account, a second monitor, document templates in LibreOffice, etc.

Answer 2

I don't think we need setup. It's too ambiguous.

Answer 3

In my opinion, setup comes after installation (installation->setup). You usually install once and able to setup configurations several times.
