First screenshot is from here.
Second screenshot is from me updating an Ubuntu 22.04 LTS system today.
Post title is from https://web.archive.org/web/20130223104643/https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/about-ubuntu/C/about-ubuntu-name.html via https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_philosophy
Aren’t LTS versions of ubuntu supported for five years? Why do you need “Pro” for security updates?
This is a supported release which still gets (some) security updates for free.
But these are Expanded Security Maintenance (ESM) updates; I guess Canonical realized that the only users who really need security updates for things like
libavcodecandimagemagickare those who might want to be able to safely load video or image files found on the internet (eg, enterprise users). Makes sense, right? /sIn their defense, it’s free for personal use. If they want to milk enterprise clients who can’t be bothered updating their systems, who cares
Or you can just update the system to a more recent version? Backporting fixes can’t be effortless.
