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.
Are the Power Users and Linux Systems communities also looking for beginner questions even if they were already answered somewhere else?
Currently the Software Development community is looking to build a list of common beginner questions even if they were already answered elsewhere. Are the Power Users and Linux Systems communities also looking for beginner questions even if they were already answered somewhere else?

Anything that is on-topic and not already here should be allowed here.
Of course the question has to still be of high quality. When writing a canonical beginner question, you have to make sure it is not a dumb question. It can be done, but requires extra care. A great example of this being done successfully is Detailed explanation of "hello, world" in C?.
Article category?
While self-answered questions are allowed, they are often awkward. If you want to create a library of beginner resources, it might be better to do so in a separate category with article post types instead of Q&A. Examples of such categories are Papers on the Electrical Engineering site and Recipes on the Cooking site.
