Ubuntu Lifecycle (EOL)
Below you can find the life cycle for each version of operating system Ubuntu, like Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish), including release dates and end of life (EOL) dates.
Linux was already established as an enterprise server platform in 2004, but free software was not a part of everyday life for most computer users.
