There are several Internet relay chat (IRC) channels on the Freenode network (irc.freenode.net) used for Ubuntu support and development.

The best place to start for general help with Ubuntu or just to meet other Ubuntu users is #ubuntu or one of the many local language channels.

Specific channels are available for Ubuntu derivatives: #kubuntu, #edubuntu and #xubuntu and separate channels relate to development, bugs, local community (LoCo) teams, accessibility and documentation. Choose from the current list of channels .

When participating in Ubuntu IRC channels, please follow the code of conduct.
