Are questions about elementary OS off topic even if it's about the kernel?

I'm currently on Xubuntu and I'm so happy with it, but I want to try Elementary OS, I do know that if I ask something about Elementary OS my question will be closed. I'm well aware of that. Elementary OS is not Ubuntu.

But if I ask something related to the kernel, like "What driver do I need to connect Broadcom" or "How to uninstall software manager?" or "issues with the sound drivers etc"

And if I do mention that I am on 13.04 which is a kernel version, will my question be closed? After all, those questions have to deal with Ubuntu kernel regardless of the distro being used.

The thing is, I would like to try Elementary OS, but I do want to still be able to participate in this community. I used manjaro, crunchbang, mint, fuduntu and many more. I dumped them all and went for xubuntu, not because I like it. I hate that heavy beast, but because I wanted to get help when I need it.

Unix.stackoverflow is great and I do go there from time to time, but it's not as active as here. Superuser is superb, I love it, but it's more Windows oriented. Elementary OS forums are young, not so active. Therefore, I want to make sure that I can still come here and be active before going for Elementary OS Luna.
