ESM updates aren’t automatic and do require you to enrol your computer in for Ubuntu Advantage/Ubuntu Pro (which is free for home users). While overall support for Ubuntu 22.04 ends in 2027 it is likely that Extended Support Maintenance (ESM) will offer updates for a further three to five years. New Linux kernel releases and graphics driver updates are also rolled out as software updates every six months or so. Ubuntu 22.04 is a Long-Term Support (LTS) release and will receive ongoing app updates and critical security fixes for five years from release. Delays are rare but it can happen: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS was released two months later than intended. This makes sense until it’s actually released the version number is subject change (being based on the year and month). Ubuntu releases are usually only referred to using their codename before release. The other was Ubuntu 9.04 “Jaunty Jackalope” which - more useless trivia - was the first release this blog covered in full. As for what a ‘jellyfish’ is? That shouldn’t require an explanation!įans of largely useless trivia may be interested to know that 22.04 is the 36th Ubuntu release since 2004, but only the second one to use a codename beginning with the letter ‘J’. In the UK, where Canonical is based, ‘jammy’ is an adjective used to describe someone or something lucky or fortunate.
Ubuntu developers have dubbed Ubuntu 22.04 the “ Jammy Jellyfish“.
