Is it possible to merge Power Users and Linux Systems? Would Codidact benefit from it?

+9

One of the concerns of How can we grow this community posts (see on Power Users and on Linux Systems) is that the sites may not be active enough, resulting in a poor first impression.

If my calculations are correct, LS gets an average of 2 questions per week and PU gets 5.

Given the scope of LS is (arguably?) a subset of PU and that both communities are still small, wouldn't Codidact benefit from merging the two sites — assuming it is doable — at least for the time being?

Adding Linux (or Unix, Macos, etc.) tags where appropriate would not be complicated.

Are there drawbacks or other advantages I overlooked in merging? Any opinion is appreciated.

This is not a discussion for main meta. We (the collective Codidact users across all sites) shouldn't be telling two specific communities what to do.
