How would you feel about a merger with Linux Systems?

On main meta, someone suggested to look into the possibility to merge our Power Users community with the community for Linux Systems to increase activity. (see https://meta.codidact.com/posts/285122)

Just to test the waters: How would you all feel about this?

Parallel question on Linux Systems? (3 comments)

Personally I think this would be an excellent idea and we would benefit in many ways.

  • as the post on main meta already mentions, both communities would benefit from more activity

  • looking through the posts on linux system, I think they would be a good addition to the posts we would bring into the marriage. Theirs might sometimes be a bit more detailed and specialised, but some of ours can attract a broader audience. I think this would make a nice mixture.

  • makes deciding where to post superflous :)

That may be a major point for some users. Power Systems Users may not be the best idea, but I cannot come up with a better one right now. :)

Trilarion‭ Good question! Maybe one can make a contest/vote for a new name with "powerusers" as one of the options? While PU might look like a natural choice due to the bigger scope, I think one important point in making such a merge successful is that all users of the new community know that it is their community and not one community taking over another one.

You would basically need the proposal for a new scope, name and icon before asking both communities about their final agreement to the merger. This means there is no need to solve the problem right now, but one could already think about it.
