What are your thoughts on Ubuntu 18.04 with a 10-year support lifespan?
I am almost 98% that he is referring on the server side not on the desktop.
I’m also pretty sure it is Server. It’s not new - I could pay for support of my old 12.04 Server (32-bit BTW) if I wanted but it does backups so well I’m in no hurry.
Here’s what I see every time I ssh to it:
But no one is clarifying! Crap reporting? Canonical silent while planning damage control? Judge for yourself:
To get some official reaction we have two things:
- question on AskUbuntu “What are the specifics of 18.04’s ten year support?” asked by muru
- my bug 1803786 report against
ubuntu-support-status
(" ubuntu-support-status should report 10 years of support for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS")
It is still unclear about the desktop. Waiting for reaction from Canonical staff.
