| Jan 3, 2021 at 7:38 | comment | added | Seamus | Personally, I think the Linux SE site is fine... it's true they generally don't suffer poorly-considered questions there as we do, but that seems right to me given their specialization. I feel it's a mistake to close a question just because it's "Linux" - or "Hardware" for that matter. I feel @goldilocks got it right in his answer - RPi is at the crossroads of hardware, software and the Linux OS. That strikes me as a good place to be. I do wish the quality of questions were a bit higher; perhaps that is the bargain for being "jack of all trades, master of none"? :) | |

| Nov 9, 2020 at 19:34 | comment | added | goldilocks Mod | Although I left it out of my answer, one of the purposes I think this site does serve is that of the gateway drug. A lot of our users haven't made any or much use of other SE sites and aren't necessarily aware that we are even part of such a network. This plays to the point that a closed question is quite different than a deleted one. WRT Orange vs. Raspberry, this begs the question that there is no Orange Pi SE because we or some other group of people have said there can't be one, yet "we" think Rpi.SE is okay. That's not the case. We've just said this isn't Orange Pi SE. | |

| Nov 9, 2020 at 14:15 | comment | added | user115418 | An interesting thought for you - Why have a Pi exchange at all? If the hardware (GPIO) is passed to electronics and the software to Linux / Android etc then what makes the Pi 'deserving' of its own board??? Orange Pi etc questions are passed to the Linux board - is the Pi that different from these boards? | |
| Nov 9, 2020 at 14:12 | comment | added | user115418 | To argue for answering Linux - the version of Linux is only found on the Pi - its quirks / builds are not seen on other boards so having the knowledge in one place (with hardware / use / expansion) makes sense for the new users. One place to go. | |

| Nov 8, 2020 at 23:30 | comment | added | user115418 | To argue against self - Linux forum has more detailed and in depth skills in just the software side across multiple repositories. So why do beginners not see the Pi as a Linux computer? Maybe it's not seen as a Linux box but a general computer and the OS is seen as secondary to its use or the programs that run on it. | |
