This is intended to be a useful page we can link to in the banner of
the IRC channel explaining the various support options someone might
have.

+If you have a support question that is not answered by our
+[documentation](/documentation) you have a number of options available
+to you.
+
+If the question is specifically about the integration of QEMU with the
+rest of your Linux distribution you may be better served by asking
+through your distribution's support channels. This includes questions
+about a specifically packaged version of QEMU. The QEMU developers are
+generally concerned with the latest release and the current state of
+the [master branch](https://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git) and do not
+provide support for QEMU binaries shipped by Linux distributions.
+
+Questions about complex configurations of networking and storage are
+usually met with a recommendation to use management tools like
+[virt-manager](https://virt-manager.org/) from the [libvirt
+project](https://libvirt.org/) to configure and run QEMU. Management
+tools handle the low-level details of setting up devices that most
+users should not need to learn.
+
+* There is a
+[qemu-discuss@nongnu.org](https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-discuss)
+mailing list for user focused questions<br>
+If your question is more technical or architecture specific you may
+want to send your question to another of [QEMU's mailing
+lists](https://wiki.qemu.org/MailingLists)
+
+* A lot of developers hang around on IRC (network: irc.oftc.net,
+channel #qemu)<br> QEMU developers tend to hold normal office hours
+and are distributed around the world. Please be patient as you may
+have to wait some time for a response. If you can't leave IRC open and
+wait you may be better served by a mailing list.
+
+* If you think you have found a bug you can report it on [our bug
+  tracker](https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/)<br>
+Please see our guide on [how to report a bug](/contribute/report-a-bug/)
