I use a different (although Ubuntu-based) types of Linux and I like, elementaryOS. But there are not a lot of questions on that on Stack Exchange.
Is U&L the proper place for that?

As per the U&L about page:
Unix & Linux Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for users of Linux, FreeBSD and other Un*x-like operating systems
(emphasis mine)
It would appear to be on topic on that site.
Absolutely. Any questions related to Un*x like operating systems are welcome here. We even already have the 2 tags elementary-os and elementary which a couple of questions each under them.
Given Elementary's lineage it should be relatively easy for most people on U&L to either answer your questions outright or at least provide you guidance as to how to resolve your issue.
I would say use your best judgement. Is the problem based on other *nix utilities or something that users of other *nix systems may face? In that case you should post it on U&L.
However, if your question is extremely specific and is caused by issues in the underlying Ubuntu system, it would be a better idea to post on AskUbuntu. This is a very thin line and the best way is to use your judgement as to what fits where.

askubuntu does not encourage questions on OSes based on ubuntu but outside the Ubuntu officially supported derivatives - also here and here. so, U&L remains the main optionuser32012– user320122013-10-14 14:03:34 +00:00Commented Oct 14, 2013 at 14:03

Oh. I wasn't aware of these. Although after reading the answers on the links provided, I understand why they may not want to entertain such questions. In such a case, please go ahead! U&L welcomes everyone!darnir– darnir2013-10-14 15:41:51 +00:00Commented Oct 14, 2013 at 15:41
