This suggestion is ultimately in conflict with the actual purpose of the site and the guidelines and regulations/rules within the Help Center.

Here's the big considerations:

  • Bugs are still offtopic here (this is detailed in the Help Center)
  • List type questions and answers are a bad fit and actually against the site scope (per the Help Center).
  • Dupe voting works fine to ID duplicates. (this is still the primary moderation method for handling duplicates)
  • Consider the Canonical "wifi not working" question proposal here on meta, and the many issues that come with such 'master' posts for general issues, which would apply here too:
  • If we have the same workarounds for an NVIDIA card then we could have one master question for NVIDIA, but given there are a ton of NVIDIA cards that is not feasible.
  • Same logic applies for AMD graphics cards, and the following (this is not an all inclusive list):
  1. wifi cards from multiple manufacturers
  2. Ethernet cards from multiple manufacturers
  3. Sound cards from various manufacturers
  4. ... (an infinite list of potential similar situations)

We can't create a master post for those or linking to the masters because we end up with either a billion pages of support answers or an unending list. It's not feasible.
