I agree. For topicality, I think it's reasonable to draw the line somewhere similar to what's already the case with the "true" unixes, if I'm allowed to use such a designation. As a rule of thumb, something along the lines of: if it's got a historical application (say, "how do I get UUCP running on this Linux installation designed to replicate a 1992 system?") then it's on topic; if it's solely about modern systems ("how do I get Wayland running with my Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Super?") then it's off topic. So, really, no significant change there. -- Michael Kjörling • https://michael.kjorling.se • michael@kjorling.se “Remember when, on the Internet, nobody cared that you were a dog?”
