We welcome questions about:
- Using and administering Ubuntu, including official Ubuntu derivatives. - Running third-party applications on Ubuntu. - Development on Ubuntu. - Services provided by Ubuntu - Any question not mentioned below or here are great! There are no "dumb" questions!
What are custom kernels? Can't I compile my own kernel and use it in Ubuntu, is that not considered usage of Ubuntu?
What if I needed to develop something that has no support while using the default kernel? Does that not follow the development line?
What if it's coming from a PPA? There can be a lot of issues simply solved by reverting to official packages, shall we ban questions that involve PPAs?
What about if I compiled the package from source and the features changed (ie: not an issue, just something different)?
If the problem is to be solved using a standard kernel, then great, we can further try to solve it and help knowing that fact, if it can't even be connect to a custom kernel, then ignore that fact. That single fact that an user is using a custom kernel should not make a post OT on this site.
