My understanding is General Discussion is for Qubes topics but I see lots of topics that are just general tech questions. Could we add a separate grouping for non qubes discussion ? I know there is All Around Qubes but it isn’t accessible to everyone and is rarely used
When I visit Qubes forum, I do so for Qubes related discussion not random tech discussion. It’s getting to the point I visit less because I don’t want to scan through for actually relevant discussion
What I like here is that the mods keep the discussion more or less related to Qubes OS. I don’t think there is room for other content, so I share your concern, not your solution. I think it is better to flag a topic or a post when it is not related to Qubes OS.
All around Qubes topics still have to be related to Qubes OS

I agree with you but like many operating system distro’s forums the discussions are often about doing things on those operating systems. The more casual users are going to see trying to do something that itself has nothing to do with Qubes on Qubes as part of Qubes discussion.
I understand the sentiment of this thread and I do agree with it. But this doesn’t change how casual users are.
A better tactic may be to make a forum topic that sounds Qubes-specific. I know that those who care about this topic won’t like this suggestion and I don’t like that it is probably the better tactic actually.
But it do be like that.
