Get Involved/support

Get Involved with KDE User Support

Helping other users is a great way to contribute back, and anyone with reasonable English skills can help.

User Support Channels

There are many channels where users may ask for support:

• Matrix rooms

• Forum topics

• IRC rooms

• Mailing lists

• Reddit

Feel free to track any channel where you feel you may be able to help users. For example, if you are using Krita, you may subscribe to its mailing list and forum topic, and join their IRC and Matrix rooms.

The support channels of each application should be listed in the application webpage in https://kde.org/applications

User Support Resources

When helping users, is good to be familiar with certain help resources yourself, so that you can simply point users to the right resource when possible:

• Documentation
  • Getting Help, the first page users seeking help should read
  • Troubleshooting, which covers some guidelines for users to troubleshoot their issues
