All those answers might have something simple in common like 'no longer being applicable after an update', or 'not taking into account that I'm dealing with a different power-balance in the relationship' (to take a more subjective example). I also guess that if there are so many answers with so many different reasons for not working in your own situation, the question might be a tad too broad. I've never really seen anything like it though, so time may tell. | |

| Feb 15, 2021 at 15:38 | comment | added | cipricus | In a specific case what I did was to ask on the more comprehensive U&L instead of the more limited askubuntu where it might have been a duplicate. If I get an answer on the larger site, I'll possibly post on the more specific one an answer instead of a question (linking to the answer that helped). | |
