Currently, where should we ask any OS related question?
I was looking at site proposals. I noticed lot of people including me were proposing for a site where we can ask any OS(Linux, Windows) related question. But, currently there's no site in Codidact where we can ask any OS related question. So, would moderator suggest to ask question somewhere in Codidact? or, they will say to keep patience until they finish work on it?

Codidact currently has no place to ask OS-related questions, unless they are niches that happen to fit into one of the existing sites.
Yes! I know that, that's why I am asking the question.
Then I fail to see the point of asking for suggestions where to ask such questions ("suggest to ask question somewhere in Codidact?") when you already know there is no place to ask them. What other possible answer were you expecting?
-
We currently have a proposal for a "power user" PC site here: https://meta.codidact.com/posts/278833. It has score 13.
-
And we also have another proposal for a Linux user site here: https://meta.codidact.com/posts/276824. It has score 16.
Both of these proposals are popular.
At the same time, most of our communities struggle with user activity so we can't go launch "ghost towns" left and right. Some of the most recently launched communities are very inactive.
So here's an idea:
Why don't we merge the two above proposals into a single "power user" site?
With the Codidact category system, there's no obvious reason why Linux users need their own site. We can afford think outside the box - we don't have to launch a new site for every flavour of the same topic like SE has to do since they don't have categories.
This new power user site could for example have the following categories:
-
General Q&A
(anything goes) - *nix
(including Linux with all distros, all Unix versions) - Windows
-
Mobile
(maybe split in Android and Apple?)
Optionally the site could also cover office suites, proposed here: https://meta.codidact.com/categories/10.
If the site then turns super active in a distant future, we can split it up in more specialized communities at that point.
