Ubuntu 12.04 LTS supported how long? - Ask Ubuntu


we considering purchasing arm based appliances ubuntu 12.04 lts installed.

if go route, how long 12.04 supported before forced upgrade or repurchase new appliance?

based on have read, appears lts 5 years both desktop , server (post ubuntu 12.04), lts discontinued april 2017? (release of 12.04 - april 2012 plus 5 years of lts)

  1. you never forced upgrade.
  2. you not need pay ubuntu.

besides 12.04.5 supported until april 2017. nobody stopping using 12.04 after date. happen never receive more updates (normal or security) put system @ risk if connected internet.

if operating system hard coded appliance buy not worry support. system not updated anyways , can hack way it.
