@AbhayPatil welcome to the Downboat! :) The question may indeed have been a better fit for Unix & Linux, or even Super User, but it's network-wide policy not to close questions just because they are on topic, or even better suited, on another site. I cleaned up our comments from the post since they are no longer needed.

@Natty idk if that counts as an answer by itself

Should this question get flagged for mod attention because of the bounty notice? askubuntu.com/questions/813588/…
personally, I don't mind it. I chuckled when I read it. But I wouldn't be surprised if others get offended by it. And I seem to recall an old meta post that humour is not allowed.
> humour is not allowed.
the what?
@Dan let the offended people flag it lol

hahahaha alright, fair enough. :D

@jokerdino Ok exaggerating a lot :p. But I remember seeing posts or comments every once in a while how humour should be almost non-existent on AU.

I wrote in one of my answers something like [this thing reduces the need for typing] and who likes typing? and someone suggested an edit to it saying in the summary "I like typing and this could be considered rude"
hahaha
offensive to the people who like typing

@jokerdino well, maybe I was just polling them "hey folks, who here likes typing?"

hahaha started by Jeff himself

maybe they felt we are trying to exclude them
anyway, if I like typing and I see a message like that, I would type them off the site.
but I don't, so yeah.
@jokerdino like a dance off?
yeah!

In this edit, should the preceding command (sudo killall pulseaudio) also have sudo removed?
@EliahKagan Post already reported
^^ It appears to be a success report on this other answer.
10:40
@EliahKagan I consider it to be a comment about the other answer which was posted as a separate answer instead of as a comment.

OT CentOS
11:48
@EliahKagan Running this command in my system without sudo kills pulseaudio but returns pulseaudio: Operation not permitted. Killing it with sudo does not return the error. I am not sure why this happens.

I should've enabled code formatting when approving this small edit but I didn't. I'll try to remember to check back, but perhaps someone can do an Edit review and add it.
a small question mark?
@EliahKagan I approved it after enabling code formatting but I now realize there's spaces in front D:
@jokerdino I have already taken care of that
Thank you. Did you use vim for that?
No. Just VSCode and used regex to replace the first four spaces with empty string.
what's the regex for first characters of a line?
^.*?
sorry I am a newb
12:57
Just ^. For example, if you'd like to match abcde at the beginning of a line, you would use ^abcde
Thank you @user
My pleasure!
I use Ctrl+K to remove 4 space indentation.

@Kulfy O_O
I don't think that is legal.
Someone call the regex police!
Who cares!!! 😅
I remember I read somewhere the rule to use regex is to let your cat walk on the keyboard. I don't have a cat and thus no regex 😕
13:37
Although this edit improves capitalization, its main effect is to needlessly replace correct grammar with other grammar that the editor prefers. For example, "that" is not needed, "real" is acceptable as a flat adverb, and the comma after "So" is optional (actually it is substandard: it's better to omit it, and arguably it is simply wrong). The comma after "But" is simply wrong.
I rejected it as "no improvement whatsoever" but perhaps I should've used a custom reason. It needs at least one more review.
I rejected this other edit, which also needs at least one more review, with the custom message:
> "Compiz" doesn't benefit from italics. Adding "to" doesn't fix the wrong grammar. A comma after "But" makes something wrong that was entirely correct.
OT Mint
@Kulfy Is that off-topic?
The image is SuSE. They didn't say they're running SuSE.
I can't see how it's related to Ubuntu anyway.
If they're creating the image on Ubuntu, then it's on-topic.
They're using some system to create the image. They say they ran dd. That had to be on some system. There's no reason to think that system was SuSE, and some reason to think it wasn't (since they likely want to run it on a VM because they don't have a SuSE system already... though that is just my guessing).
.Hmm. fair enough
seems dupe. apt-get is an another way to install deb files. The question as of now has 3 unclear votes. @karel If you also feel that the question is dupe, consider dupe hammering that.
Is this an answer?
14:30
@Kulfy I had wrongly voted to close that as unclear -- or, at least, such a vote would be wrong now. I've retracted it. It should now be possible to close it as a duplicate with or without a dupe hammer being used, though I won't be able to cast a dupe vote myself.
@Kulfy Maybe it should be an edit on the OP's self-answer. I'm not sure.
@EliahKagan Thanks.

OP eventually responded to both the queries by adding the required details
So all comments below this question are no longer needed
^^ Ignore it, already deleted
(unrelated) unclear, OP posted a comment didn't respond to the query asking for clarification
^^ The comment made it more unclear instead: "I have added an Icon theme and a Application theme" without giving any explicit technical details.
Should it be considered as an answer?

Q: Improved experience for users with review suspensions

Yaakov EllisThis post details the first in a series of releases related to the ongoing work on Review Queues. It focuses on changes to the ways in which users who have been suspended from reviewing are notified of this event. These changes will be going live in the next few days (post to be updated when all ...

19:31
@Kulfy I may be wrong here. Looking at what they said again, it does seem like they may have been saying they ran dd from inside the SuSE system, rather than just on the drive that contains it. I've commented to request that the OP edit to provide clarification.
20:14
@user3140225 Btw, VS Code supports Shift+Tab (and Vim supports "<").
21:00
@EliahKagan Yeah, you are right for VSCode (nice to know for Vim too)! However, this only works if you have set the Tab indentation at four spaces (this is the default). Personally, for editing on AskUbuntu I tend to mostly use regex when a user has incorrectly used quoting instead of code formatting to quickly remove > and add the correct number of spaces. For cases such as the one we are talking about I usually use Ctrl+K, as @Kulfy said (not for this one though, I don't know why :) ).

@Zanna I commented under this closed question explaining the reason why I think it should be migrated to Unix & Linux Q&A. I got an accept vote for answering a similar question about Pop!_OS on Unix & Linux Q&A yesterday, so I believe that this question would be answerable at U&L.
