Canonical Extends LTS Support to 12 Years

Ubuntu’s long-term support releases just got even longer, with Canonical today announcing they are eligible for up to 12 years of security coverage from initial release. As you know, every Ubuntu LTS release receives 5 years of standard security (and select application) updates for packages in the ‘main’ Ubuntu repo, while subscribing to Ubuntu Pro adds a further 5 years of security coverage for packages in the ‘main’ and ‘universe’ repos. But now there’s Legacy Support, a purchasable add-on for Ubuntu Pro customers. This offers an additional 2 years of coverage, bringing the total LTS support window up to 12
