Is there a forum for general topics that are not related to Ubuntu ?

Are you sure, @anon42388993 ?

Is there a forum for general topics that are not related to Ubuntu ?

Forum description: " Topics related to Ubuntu and Linux, but don’t fit into any other category. "

Are you sure

And where would you put a MS (windows) topic?

Maybe the wording needs to change. Let’s ask

That doesn’t apply to our forums. People at times like to post other (unrelated) topics in our forum.

Other distro's section please (Fix for Windows 7 update problem)

Hi chaps, like the title says, can we have a forum section for other distro's please as I would really like to post a guide on updating Windblows 7 which I have just done and worked out that you only need two files to solve the update problem!. Fix Windows 7 update problem the easy way!. In the meantime, the files are (Service Pack 1 required prior to installing updates!): 1: Install file and restart!.

Yup, hence the smilies.

But seriously speaking: How about just shortening the description of Uncategorized to something like "Topics that don’t fit into any other category. "

Let’s see what Luke has to say.

I’ve changed the Uncategorised topic to read:

Topics that don’t fit into any other existing category.

Which is pretty much what it originally and always was. However, it would be preferred to keep the topics related to Ubuntu and the world of Linux, as it is still a forum dedicated to Ubuntu MATE users.
