Help & Support

KDE Linux is run by passionate volunteers who are eager to help with issues you may encounter. However they make no guarantees about their ability to do so in a timely matter, to any level of success, or at all; support resources are provided on an “as available, best effort” basis.

Before trying anything recommended on this page, do the following two things first:

Update to the latest version
Restart

If that does not help, continue below:

Get official answers to common questions

Read the documentation.

Get help with a problem using KDE Linux

Use discuss.kde.org, and tag your post with “kde-linux”.

Talk with the KDE Linux developers about issues

Use Matrix.

Report a bug

If you know or are told that your issue is a bug, please report it so the developers can fix it for everyone and advise you of any relevant workarounds in the meantime.

Run the collect-logs tool and attach its output to every bug report you open.

To report issues in the KDE Linux operating system itself (i.e. OS design, integration, system services, etc), use invent.kde.org, and ignore the scary red banner at the top of the page.
To report issues in KDE Plasma or any KDE apps, use bugs.kde.org.
