+The Ubuntu Community provides a number of resources to help support new and experienced users, provide spaces for discussion, and help troubleshoot common technical issues.
+
+

+
+## Chat and discussion
+
+### Matrix chat
+
+Matrix is an instant messaging (IM) platform where you can talk to Ubuntu community members and developers in an open setting. Many Ubuntu projects have public rooms where you can ask for help. You can see all our public rooms in {matrix}`the Ubuntu Space <community>`. We also have a dedicated room for support.
+
+{matrix}`Join the Ubuntu Support room on Matrix > <support>`
+
+If you're new to Matrix, you can create an account by following the {ref}`Getting started with Matrix guide <matrix-onboarding>`.
+
+
+### IRC chat
+
+Internet Relay Chat (IRC) allows real-time text messaging and is arranged in a series of rooms or channels. Each channel has a particular topic where members can communicate with one another in an open setting. If you have a question or need assistance, the Ubuntu Community has a number of IRC channels you can join.
+
+Visit the [IRC Channel List](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList) for a catalog of the Ubuntu Community channels.
+
+If you’ve never used IRC before, check out the [IRC Introduction](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat).
+
+
+## Technical support

+### AskUbuntu
+
+AskUbuntu is a collaboratively-edited question-and-answer site for Ubuntu users and developers. Users seeking assistance can ask and update questions along with rating the quality of the answers they receieve. Please note this site is English only.
+
+[Start asking questions at AskUbuntu >](https://askubuntu.com/)
+
+
+### Ubuntu Discourse
+
+The Ubuntu Discourse (also referred to as the Ubuntu Community Hub) is a collaborative space where the community can discuss topics around Ubuntu and the many projects that make up its ecosystem. Users in search of technical support can make an account on the platform and seek help from their fellow community members.
+
+[Find support and help on the Ubuntu Discourse >](https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/welcome-to-support-and-help/49951)
+
+
