Is it okay to ask the OP inside your answer to accept and upvote it?
I am tempted to edit out the noise in this answer... :)

Far less question regarding Kubuntu, Xubuntu as compared to Ubuntu on askubuntu
@MarkKirby Well your edit has made it on-topic now. It remains to be seen if that was what rancho intended.

Then why not correct the mistakes in the original post by suggesting edits?

Wouldn't you just end up duplicating content?

Is the Ask Ubuntu community generally more friendly than Stack Overflow - If so, why?
@JacobVlijm You raised good points and I think the best way is to somehow ask the new users how they feel while using the site, since most of us active on meta aren't new and don't truly understand what a new user knows/prioritizes when using AU. I appreciate that you follow up with OPs and I think that's something we all can/should do more often.

@JacobVlijm It stands for minimal complete verifiable example. The details are at stackoverflow.com/help/mcve. I hope AU is now friendlier than it was back in your days. :)

@JacobVlijm I have been looking bottom-up on both SE and AU for a while and I can categorically say the situation does not look pretty in SO at all while it is way better in AU. In SO, people who don't provide MCVEs can basically expect tons of downvotes and snide remarks.

@AndreaLazzarotto Coffee is abysmal in the US, but I have got to make do with what I have. There is no question I am European at heart when it comes to coffee although I am not in Europe physically. :D

@Oli I see you keep talking about tea, but what about coffee? Will bad things happen to us coffee people?

SO has a huge number of answers, so any new question, regardless of programming language, is expected to be able to demonstrate why previous answers don't help. That is a non-trivial amount of research a typical new user doesn't bother doing, so a majority of new questions gather downvotes and negative comments by established users very quickly.

Documentation on Ask Ubuntu
Meanwhile the Ubuntu tag on the SO Documentation site definitely needs more work.

What is a positive question record?
