- One of the concerns of _How can we grow this community_ posts (see on [Power Users][1] and on [Linux Systems][2]) 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.

- - Linux Systems: [Should we merge with Power Users?][4]

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