Welcome to the Power Users community on Codidact!
Power Users is a Q&A site for questions about the usage of computer software and hardware. We are still a small site and would like to grow, so please consider joining our community. We are looking forward to your questions and answers; they are the building blocks of a repository of knowledge we are building together.
FAQ
Welcome to Power Users! We're glad you're here. The following information is relevant primarily within this community. If you have a question that applies to the entire Codidact family of communities, you may want to look at our Global FAQ or Global TOS.
What is Power Users all about?
Power Users is a community where computer enthusiasts (power users) ask and answer questions about software and hardware usage. You can ask questions about using software applications (browsers, office suites, editors, etc), command-line interfaces, operating systems and settings, computer hardware, home networking, and so on. While computers are in lots of things these days, this community is more focused on things that are primarily computers than, say, your WiFi-connected refrigerator.
What are the rules on Power Users?
In addition to the Terms of Service and Code of Conduct, Power Users asks its users to not verbatim repost content from other sites. If a user would like to re-ask a question, which they have previously asked on another site, they should reformulate the post in order to tailor it to the Power User audience. In addition, adding cross-links to all versions of the post will ensure that users with the same problem will be able to find all existing solutions to the problem and help users make informed decisions. See Let's clarify rules on crossposting for Codidact Power Users for more information.
