Ubuntu 18.04 is Reaching End of Life: Here's What You Can Do
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
Ubuntu 18.04 is reaching end of life soon. Here's what you need to know.
|
|
|
|
![ubuntu 18.04 end of life][1]
|
|
|
|
The iconic Ubuntu 18.04 'Bionic Beaver' release was a release that offered many improvements and features.
|
|
|
|
But like most good things, this, too, has reached an end (for most).
|
|
|
|
**What's Happening:** In March, Canonical announced that Ubuntu 18.04 would reach end-of-life (EOL) on **31 May 2023,** completing its 5 years of planned update cycle.
|
|
|
|
Well, that day is approaching fast, with just a few weeks to go.
|
|
|
|
**So, what does EOL mean?**
|
|
|
|
For a [Long-Term Version][2] Ubuntu release, it will stop **getting maintenance updates and security fixes.**
|
|
|
|
**So, what should you do now?**
|
|
|
|
If you are an enterprise or want to stick to Ubuntu 18.04, Canonical suggests you opt for [Ubuntu Pro][3], which will **extend support for Ubuntu 18.04 until April 2028**.
|
|
|
|
> 📋 Remember that only x86, x64, and arm64 architectures are supported via Ubuntu Pro.
|
|
|
|
Ubuntu Pro includes the full security patching treatment thanks to Expanded Security Maintenance (ESM) with 24/7 phone and ticket support.
|
|
|
|
Fret not; there is a [free plan for Ubuntu Pro][4] if you need it for personal or non-commercial use, giving you **10 years of security updates** from the date of its original release.
|
|
|
|
In either case, you could upgrade to the [Ubuntu 20.04][5] LTS release or do a fresh install of [Ubuntu 22.04][6] LTS if you want the latest and greatest Ubuntu LTS release,
|
|
|
|
Here's a handy guide to help you on your upgrade/reinstall journey.
|
|
|
|
If you do not have Ubuntu Pro and do not get extended maintenance updates, you should upgrade as soon as possible, else your system will remain vulnerable to security issues.
|
|
|
|
_💬 Will you be upgrading or opting for Ubuntu Pro subscription to get extended updates?_
