Most questions that are on-topic here, are on-topic there too. But it doesn't go the other way around. For example, questions about Linux Mint are on-topic there, but not here. And if you post Ubuntu-specific questions there, you might get a comment saying something like "You might find more expertise on Ask Ubuntu". I recommend that you ask Ubuntu questions here. (Even if you think the same question may also apply to Mint, Elementary, etc.) If **your** question is about Ubuntu (or Xubuntu, Kubuntu, etc.), ask it here. Here are some quotes from the tag descriptions for [Ubuntu][1] and [Kubuntu][2] at Unix and Linux SE: > Note that http://askubuntu.com is specifically dedicated to Ubuntu questions. <b> > Questions for Kubuntu are probably better asked at http://askubuntu.com/, the stackexchange site for Ubuntu.
