The KDE Community is friendly and helpful, so here you'll find hints on where to get help, and some guidance on using the different channels.

Asking Questions properly and hints about things to check before you ask, and information to gather.
 
Sometimes you may want to dig a little deeper to fine tune your system or troubleshoot a problem. KDE System Administration tells You more about the inner workings of Your Plasma Desktop.
 
You will often be asked "which distro do you use?" If that sounds confusing, What is a distribution (distro)? will explain for you.
 
Troubleshooting is the place where you'll find guides to fix common hardware and software problems. [under construction]
 
Here is how to chat with other KDE users. Also a list of IRC Channels is available.
 
Mailing Lists for help in using KDE applications. You receive all mail that goes to a Mailing List.
 
Discuss is the official forum of KDE, where you can get help, read tips and post your ideas.
 
Websites lists KDE-related sites, as well as articles about using KDE software.
 
The world of computing abounds with strange words and unfamiliar concepts. In The Jargon File you will find an explanation of some of them.
 
The docs may answer your question.
