... (continued) because then people comment "Hey, are you using Ubuntu 14.04, or something newer", because of the sheer amount of people just tagging their question as that because it is suggested even when they have a far newer version of Ubuntu. And then the OP edits their question to fix it. But it happens often enough it is annoying, and it would be easier to not deal with this in the first place

@V2Blast 14.04 is a (rather old and EOL) version of Ubuntu. We have tags for each Ubuntu version. The most recent (stable) version of Ubuntu is 22.04. The oldest on-topic version is 18.04. The theory is that by having question-askers tag their questions with their version of Ubuntu, some things are easier. Except... quite a few users see 14.04 there and think "Hey look, something's there. I guess I'll use it as a tag"... and this results in a decent amount of questions (wrongly) tagged as 14.04 when they should be tagged with the version of ubuntu the OP has, which is annoying (continued)

See also this request for a canonical question regarding "I messed with Python and broke _____". While we should probobly have something for people that want to change something, having a general (canonical) post for people that already broke their system by messing with Python would be good. I'd fully support making this question the canonical dupe target

@andrew.46 I agree with you (and I approved it), I do believe that having gender-neutral language makes sense (when reasonable, of course) and is better. I just wasn't totally sure, as a very high-rep user rejected it, and generally mass-editing can cause issues (queue overflow...) if not agreed upon, which is why I wanted to double-check. I generally agree about using gender-neutral language, but the linked answer saying that mass-edits are bad made me hesitate a bit to approve it

@terdon My bad, I missed that it was in a shell script, so you're correct. It would be on-topic, sorry
