Ubuntu – Does someone other than Canonical provide paid support for Ubuntu

support

Canonical provides paid support plans, but not for individuals (minimum Order: 50 Desktops). Is there any company other than Canonical providing paid support for Ubuntu for individuals or very small companies? If not directly for Ubuntu, then perhaps for Linux in general? I have tried searching online for a company that provides paid support to individuals but could not find anything.

Ask your Ubuntu Local Community. Those LoCo teams often hold meetings near you.

That would be the best method to get localized support. Often there is not even a need to pay for support. They just like to help you with questions.

But the people at a loco meeting also will know more about people and/or companies willing to help individuals with problems or with some form of education about Ubuntu/Linux.

Besides that it is mainly getting yourself informed by reading blogs, Q+A sites, problems others had and got fixed on-line.

Ask Ubuntu is one of the sources for individual support. Free of charge but it will not be at your actual home and it will need to be on this site since we all want to know how you messed up and learn from it ;)
