For context: the answerer (Rod Smith) is an authority on the matter. He definetly has a word there. But besides, is that actually a case of "not an answer"? How to go about doing the thing is addresse …

Furthermore Meta is a place of discussion, and silencing unpopular opinions (to me) kinda feels like censoship. …

While certainly Thomas lacked leaving a (due in my opinion) comment, I second deleting the answer in the state it was when it was deleted (and in which apparently still is, which is: lacking a GIANT …

However this topic came up recently again in a discussion in the comments of a question about sudo, where an user claimed the question be off-topic because of its "not only Ubuntu-specific"ness being sudo …

As many will have heard of, Microsoft will distribute a stock Ubuntu installation to be run on Windows 10. Source. Someone has made the point that being this the result of a partnership with Canonica …

So should I still VTC it as off-topic? Yes, we make no exception. Any workaround to get an in-development version of X working would be as ephemeral as it could be. And, by the way, it wouldn't …

A mod will be able to determine whether the two accounts share the same IP and if that's the case merge the two accounts, but until proven true that the two accounts are owned by the same user the edi …
