# Community support

You can find support from a variety of sources. Take a look – you're likely to find an answer to every question. If you can't find an answer, just ask the people in our active forums.

## [Find community support](https://ubuntu.com/community/support)

[Ask Ubuntu](https://askubuntu.com/) and [the Ubuntu Discourse](https://discourse.ubuntu.com) are great sources of answers to common questions about installing, troubleshooting and optimising Ubuntu. For more info on support forums, including IRC channels, see [our community docs](https://ubuntu.com/community/support).

## [Read the docs](https://help.ubuntu.com/)

If you're stuck on a problem, someone else has probably encountered it too. Take a look at the [official documentation](https://help.ubuntu.com) or our other [product docs](https://docs.ubuntu.com).
