Canonical Extends Support of Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 to 10 Years

Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 16.04 just got a major support boost from Canonical. Announced today, Canonical says both releases will now get an extended 10 years of support from their original release date, up from the 5 originally provided. This commitment brings these older LTS releases in line with the 10 year commitment already in place for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and 20.04 LTS. As a result, Ubuntu 14.04 is supported until April 2024, and Ubuntu 16.04 is supported until April 2026. The announcement is sure to be welcomed by enterprise, business, and other service customers who run orders versions of :sys_more_orange:

Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS Released, Available to Download

The third point release of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is available to download, albeit a few weeks later than was originally intended. This newly spun install images contains all of the security patches, bug fixes, and app updates released to Ubuntu 21.04 since the Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS released was issued back in February. New installer media is a necessary task for a long-term support release as it cuts down considerably on the number of post-install updates required. Or to put it another way: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is supported until 2025. If the install media was not periodically refreshed it would mean :sys_more_orange:
