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:

You Can Still Get Ubuntu 16.04 Security Updates, Here’s How

Did you know it’s possible to get security updates for Ubuntu 16.04 until 2024 without paying for an enterprise Ubuntu support package? ESM is not a reason to never upgrade, it is simply a stop gap I didn’t, not until today when a reader mailed in to tell me that Canonical offers free Ubuntu Advantage for Infrastructure accounts for personal use on up-to 3 machines (active Ubuntu members can use it on up to 50 machines). A gratis Ubuntu Advantage for Infrastructure account includes a couple of things but the most notable is …Extended Security Maintenance (ESM) for EOL releases. :sys_more_orange:
