How do I check?
See which version you are running by opening the System Monitor and checking the System tab.
Or via the Terminal:
cat /etc/os-release
Still using 19.10?
The upgrade path will be to the current LTS release, 20.04 , supported until April 2023 . To upgrade, open Software Updater and follow the steps.
Or alternately, via the Terminal:
