Should we allow questions about installation and configuration of software development tools?
A recent flag for [this question](https://software.codidact.com/posts/284343) suggested that it would be a better fit for the Linux community. There is no motivation provided, but I guess it is related to the fact that most of the question and the answer deal with installing various packages using Ubuntu's package manager. 

However, the question deals with installing and configuring a tool (IDE) primarily used for software development, so it is kind of related to this community.

The [What type of questions can I ask here?](https://software.codidact.com/help/on-topic) does not cover this case, that's why I raised this as question here.
