<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">As a reminder, *buntu 16.04 LTS 'Xenial Xerus' was the April 2016
long-term support release (as indicated in the release number), with
support until April 2021 for Ubuntu Desktop, Server, Core, and Kylin,
and until April 2019 for all other flavours (Lubuntu, Xubuntu,
Kubuntu...). I.e., support expires next month for those.
Meanwhile the _current_ long-term support release, 18.04 LTS 'Bionic
Beaver', has support for _5 years until April 2023_ for the same main
flavours, and for 3 years until April 2021 for the other flavours.

That's what it said on the Ubuntu Wiki page about 18.04 LTS, but
apparently that information is a little out of date: As I noticed on
Wikipedia[1], Canonical, Ltd. CEO Mark Shuttlework announced this past
November that Ubuntu 18.04 LTS support will run a full ten years, to
April 2028.[2]

I think if you dig a bit you might find that 10 years of
support is limited to<br>
business customers. I know I thought that sounded good and someone
(not you?)<br>
pointed out that it was limited to presumably paying customers,<br>
