| Jul 15, 2021 at 16:17 | comment | added | Terrance | askubuntu.com/questions/1342454/… has a note about the 3 year in a comment | |
| Jul 15, 2021 at 16:15 | comment | added | Terrance | The flavors are not there, only Ubuntu. Xubuntu 18.04 is not there. | |
| Jul 15, 2021 at 16:14 | comment | added | Thomas Ward Mod | @Terrance actually technically it is on releases.ubuntu.com. You also should reread my answer and note that I already answered the "3 year support" problem for Ask Ubuntu. I added some obvious emphatic statement formatting to make it easier to find what this means for Ask Ubuntu. Which should decisively end the discussion as it relates to Ask ubuntu about "Do you support only 3 years or the full 5 years?" | |

| Jul 15, 2021 at 16:12 | comment | added | Thomas Ward Mod | @Terrance yes you can if you know where to go ;) | |
| Jul 15, 2021 at 16:11 | comment | added | Terrance | People here seem to post about the other flavors only having 3 years. Plus, you can no longer download them after that 3 years is up! | |
| Jul 15, 2021 at 16:10 | comment | added | Thomas Ward Mod | @Terrance I meant like in a pastebin or something, and comments, not as its own answer. Point is that we never intended to follow the '3 year LTS' - we intended to support the full 5 years even for the flavors, which is what we've always done. My answer goes in depth to explain the difference and what it means, THEN what we will be doing with Ask Ubuntu and how we'll handle it differently than a given flavor team ;) | |
| Jul 15, 2021 at 16:09 | comment | added | Terrance | NO!!! I am not going to share it if you are just going to downvote me!!! | |
| Jul 15, 2021 at 15:40 | comment | added | Terrance | I'm always late, apparently... ;) | |
| Jul 15, 2021 at 14:58 | comment | added | Thomas Ward Mod | @Terrance I think you're going to have to share that information. Regardless, the output of things for security status will show that things're still covered, and we've always followed the entire 5 year LTS release cycle, even with flavors only getting 3 years of 'desktop app' support from that distribution. You're also a little late to the conversation, this has been posted for over a month now... | |

You know, it is interesting since I run Xubuntu 20.04 right now, and all the packages that come default state that they are supported until 4/2025 according to the ubuntu-security-status app that replaced ubuntu-support-status. Maybe we should go off the output of ubuntu-security-status?
