Are Linux-related questions on-topic?

+8
−0

I'm trying to learn Linux, and I've got plenty of questions to ask on the subject, especially when it comes to differences between Linux's command line and Apple's.

Would such questions be accepted here, or would they be off-topic? It's not exactly software development, per se, but it's certainly programming.

Command line is not programming. Everyone else but conservative programmers have stopped using command line, but that doesn't make it programming still. Once upon a time, regular users used command line, in the days of UNIX and DOS.
