Q: Should invalid answers be deleted?

Archisman PanigrahiI found this answer, which is about a discontinued Chrome extension. Should such answers be deleted, since they don't help anyone anymore?

Which Kernel does Ubuntu 20.04.03 LTS use? Is it 5.11 or 5.13?

@JourneymanGeek Hun..? Did you run apt upgrade this month?
 
Uh
I don't remember tbh
Its possible
I upgrade this box routinely
 
11:58 AM
@JourneymanGeek If you have run apt update recently, then apt list --upgradable should show all the upgradable packages. Kernel 5.11 or 5.13 must be one of them.

If you had asked me last week...
I had an install of 20.04 that hadn't been updated in close to a year
 
@Someone these are the kernels currently available in the repo:
$ wget -O - packages.ubuntu.com/focal/kernel 2>/dev/null | grep -oP 'Linux kernel image for version \S+' | awk '{print $NF}' | sort | uniq | sort -Vr
5.14.0
5.13.0
5.11.0
5.10.0
5.8.0
5.6.0
5.4.0
 
why do you think it should be 5.11? I don't think the major version of a kernel usually gets updated during the lifetime of a release does it? That number at the end will go up and up and up instead

Q: Should canonical make Ubuntu App Platform?

Adam Ł.Should Canonical make Ubuntu App Platform (that can be use on any Linux Distribution)? The fuel, point to discussion is in this video: You CAN'T make a "Linux app", because there is NO LINUX PLATFORM

 
I am confused...
OK, never mind, maybe I have done something weird with my VM.
@AskUbuntuMeta Is this on topic on Meta Ask Ubuntu?
 
1:35 PM
@Someone I have 5.11.0-43.
Probably the difference is due to the usage or not of HWE stack. I use the HWE kernel, and I guess you also, but @Zanna and @JourneymanGeek seem to use the General Availability kernel.

Q: What is hardware enablement (HWE)?

nelaaroI see the linux-hwe-generic package as part of the kernels you can install in Ubuntu. What is hardware enablement (HWE)?

 
@BeastOfCaerbannog ah! Yeah that's plausible
the system I pulled the information from was older hardware and I went for safe over latest
 
@BeastOfCaerbannog ahaaa
@Someone no
 
1:56 PM
@BeastOfCaerbannog Yes, same with me.

How many votes are required on AU to close a question? Still 5? Was surprised to find that Super User was still 5 -- I'm used to Stack Overflow being 3. Working on a Meta post about it, but just wanted to make sure it was still 5 here.

@NotTheDr01ds 3 is the exception. Very few sites have something other than 5. The vast, vast majority and the norm around the network is 5 and SO only switched to 3 very recently.

Q: Testing three-vote close and reopen on 13 network sites

CatijaTest is live! The 13 sites below have their votes to close set at 3. I've also reduced the votes needed for migrations to 2 (down from 3). Almost two years ago I ran a test for single vote closure/reopen on Hardware Recommendations after one of their moderators reached out to me about the strain...

 
11:00 PM
@terdon That's what I thought. Although "very recently" is over two years ago now ;-). Thanks - I hadn't seen the meta.se one yet.
 
@NotTheDr01ds Oh. Whoops, you're right! I remembered the MSE post and felt that was "very recent" (although even that's been 8 months...) but had forgotten that SO had switched a while back.
 
11:24 PM
@terdon Right. It basically predates my involvement, so from my perspective three-vote-close was "normal". Although even 8 months would probably have been before I hit 3k rep on SO.
Going to run my "close vote review completion stats" queries to make a case for AU qualifying for the next round of testing.
