Why can I not participate in Voting, I'm a Linux veteran of decades ?

Probably to stop mass registrations to stack results. But jeremy (him what is root) or perhaps the mods know the true reason.
Not to mention, that as a new member, you're just a newbie with no history to substantiate your knowledge ....

And welcome to LQ - hope to see you contribute.

You need to be a registered member, with a certain amount of posts, if I remember, (it will be in the forum details somewhere).

With the 30th post, an LQer moves from "newbie" to "member" status. https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...faq#faq_newbie

So now you have two posts, you can vote. I believe it would be the same for any other poll here.

You omitted to check the "Linux veteran of decades" box upon registering at the site...
