Most of the devices (hardware) attached to computers should function properly in <phrase>Kubuntu</phrase>. The devices are likely to have <emphasis>free</emphasis> drivers. These drivers can be freely modified by developers, and any problems or incompatibilities with Linux can be fixed.

Some hardware does not have free drivers, usually because the hardware manufacturer has not released details of their hardware which would make it possible to create such a driver for a Linux system. If such a manufacturer has not created Linux drivers, the hardware may have limited functionality or may not work at all.

If an appropriate <emphasis>proprietary driver</emphasis> is available for a certain device, it can be installed in order to allow that device to function properly or to add new features. For example, installing proprietary drivers for certain graphics cards allows for the use of advanced visual effects.

Some computers may not have any devices that can use proprietary drivers, either because all of the devices are fully supported by free drivers or because proprietary drivers are not yet available.

Proprietary drivers are usually maintained by the hardware manufacturer, and so cannot be modified by developers if there is a problem.
