Is Ubuntu 14.04 off-topic on Ask Ubuntu

According to Ask Ubuntu, a release of Ubuntu is only off-topic if it is past EOL.

According to Ubuntu Wiki page, Ubuntu 14.04 is not EOL until April 2022.

These two facts should be enough to establish beyond doubt that Ubuntu 14.04 is not off-topic on Ask Ubuntu.

Some people have claimed that when Ask Ubuntu says EOL, it really means "End of Standard Support". (as if Ask Ubuntu does not understand what it is saying).

If Canonical is still supporting 14.04, then Ask Ubuntu should also still be supporting 14.04. Standard Support starts and ends with Canonical. I therefore endeavored to determine the degree to which Canonical still supports Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

I started out by installing an Ubuntu 14.04.4 ISO I had in my downloads folder. (I probably should have downloaded ubuntu-14.04.6-desktop-amd64.iso from https://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04/) . At this point we at least know for a fact that the downloading of 14.04 Desktop and Server is fully supported by Canonical.

During the install process I selected the option to download updates while installing. I think that if I would have used point release 6, there might have been fewer updates and the process might have gone faster.

It was a pleasure to log into 14.04 after so long, sort of nostalgic.

First priority was security. For 14.04, this means signing up for Ubuntu Advantage (UA) client and installing ESM.

The Ubuntu wiki page for information on installing Ubuntu ESM is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UA client. the page directed me to https://ubuntu.com/advantage where I completed the registration process and ended up with a free token.

Back on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UA client I continued with Installing the UA client by running a couple of commands as instructed. Next I proceeded to Attach the UA client. I ran the line I got when registering sudo ua attach [UNIQUECODE], (Please use your own free token).

Running sudo ua status I confirmed that ESM was enabled.

I completed the upgrade by running sudo apt update and then sudo apt upgrade. The installer ran for quite a while.

I ran Software Updater and It installed quite a few security updates. All Settings/Overview tells me System Up-To-Date.

It appears to me that Canonical is truly supporting Ubuntu 14.04 for free. The question is whether Ask Ubuntu will also continue to support Ubuntu 14.04 until it's End of Life as claimed on the Help page?

AND EVERYTHING WAS FREE
