And can anyone tell me why I should not ask this question and it should be downvoted? What happened to commenting why it should be downvoted. I try to get a sense for how to deal with this and can not find information about it. If Meta is not the place, where should I ask this then?

Are you using linux? There is always an other way ;-) It would be preferable to have all questions like that indeed, but wouldn't that mean we have to flag 75% of the questions to be unclear?

That would in the example supplied mean that all the answers should have been handled in comments? Cause none of the responders could be 100% sure their solution was the solution.
