In 2025, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa) will reach the end of its standard five-year support window. It’s time to start thinking about your options for upgrading…

The first is to upgrade to the latest LTS release, Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat), which will be supported until 2029…

The second is to obtain Expanded Security Maintenance and extend the support period for 20.04 LTS until April 2030 with an Ubuntu Pro subscription…

It is crucial to plan out your next steps. Running Ubuntu 20.04 without ESM would mean you no longer receive security updates after April 2025. Unpatched CVEs could expose your systems to security breaches. ..

This also means that Mint 20, 20.1, 20.2, and 20.3, all of which are based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, will go out of support in April 2025.

Not sure what, if anything, it means for LMDE versions of Mint.
