How long is Ubuntu supported for?
Ubuntu LTS releases follow a standard release cadence. Every Ubuntu LTS release receives 5 years of support on the ‘Main’ repository and with an Ubuntu Pro subscription, users can get access to Expanded Security Maintenance (ESM), covering security fixes for packages in both the ‘Main’ and ‘Universe’ repositories up to 12 years. MediaTek partner images follow the same lifespan, and reach end-of-life at the same time as the corresponding generic Ubuntu release.
