Well, I have no greater ability to read the minds of downvoters than you (and I'm not your downvoter), but if you read the tooltip it talks about "research effort". I don't know how much you've actual …

Seems like writing a reference question & answer on easy ways to get the output from a command onto the web could help with this. I'd guess it'd need to cover, at minimum: script copy & paste from a …

I'm not extremely familiar with Mint, but: if its fairly similar, regardless if based on Ubuntu or Debian, then propose an edit to the tag wiki. linux-mint can include both. if they're quite differ …

Hmmm, I've left it in on several of my answers, because I think it actually looks nicer with it in. And sometimes it is important (for example, when multiple machines are involved, or multiple users). …

I'm pretty sure you've asked in the right place. It may just be that no one knows how, or that it's not possible.

I'd suggest splitting it and leaving the find duplicates except for a few lines generic question. For the MySQL backup part, you could ask that here (it's a program that runs on Unix after all) or y …

Not sure why you want to merge the two tags... As you say, they're related in that they aim to accomplish the same goal. But the implementations are entirely different, and so are the behaviors. To …

One thing to realize about how Stack Exchange works: The close reason displayed isn't always what all the voters picked. It displays the most popular one. Personally, I voted to close as unclear; let …

I'd think not. First, I'm not sure it's even possible with the Stack Exchange software to do that... But I'll leave that to an SE person to answer. Badges are used to encourage behavior beneficial t …

The site has only a few moderators who handle all the flags, and while they're all fairly knowledgeable folks, they're not expected to be (nor are they) competent technical reviewers for any arbitrary …

(In case anyone isn't familiar with how meta works: this is just my opinion, the community will indicate its agreement or disagreement by voting on it) I don't think you have to worry about the "lea …

First, Unix & Linux is primary for users and administrators of Unix and Linux systems, not programmers of them. Programming questions, which almost all C++ questions would be, belong on Stack Overflow …

Reading that question, I'm not sure what you're asking. Are you wondering how exec works inside the kernel, because you're writing some kernel code that needs to change how it works, program somethi …

The sites overlap a lot. U&L is largely a subset of Super User, and Ask Ubuntu is largely a subset of both. That said, there are some areas which aren't contained in the more broad site, such as Super …
