Can you enable writing (new thread) in the hardware chat room.

I can't see it.

We are looking in to this - stay tuned, and thank you for your patience!

Is it possible to change the hardware chat room's name to Hardware and General Software, or something in those lines? I think Linux, and other software, would benefit from such a forum. Android has its own forum.

All I'm saying is that not all Linux related problems begin with a project discussion and ultimately end up in a general Linux discussion. If some do, fine, but sometimes there's a need to begin with a general, non-project related Linux discussion.

This is how it looks when we search for Linux RAMdisk. We are forced to read all these non-related forums, where they discuss many other topics. It's time consuming. Here is a thread that would have benefited from a dedicated hardware and general software forum, because its visibility would have increased. Instead of having to search in all the forums, we could limit the search to only the hardware and general software forum.

Besides, it's difficult to ignore software, and especially operating systems, when discussing hardware related matters. The hardware forum will drift into that direction anyway, so why not acknowledge it preemptively?
