Do domain-specific how-to's fit well within Q&A?

+4
−0

I've recently gained some PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) knowledge. I had written a Reddit post plus reply and then thought the stuff I shared would fit well here.

Do domain-specific how-to questions like this fit well within the Q&A category, or would this work better in something like a "Recipes" category?

("Domain-specific" here means, "related to a particular aspect of Linux Systems management or development." E.g. the "domain" in this case is PAM application and module development. Thus the title of the question I would post is, "What is the process for writing PAM modules and applications?")

Clarify and elaborate upon what exactly "general" means

Can you clarify and elaborate upon what exactly "general" means? I don't find the term very descriptive in this case.

I updated my question. Lmk if that helps clarify.
