[article/howto] You Can Still Get Ubuntu 16.04 Security Updates, Here’s How
From Devi Garcia · Sep 13, 2021
Did you know it’s possible to get security updates for Ubuntu 16.04 until 2024 without paying for an enterprise Ubuntu support package?
Quoted reply (1 line)ESM is not a reason to never upgrade, it is simply a stop gap
I didn’t, not until today when a reader mailed in to tell me that Canonical offers free Ubuntu Advantage for Infrastructure accounts for personal use on up-to 3 machines (active Ubuntu members can use it on up to 50 machines).
A gratis Ubuntu Advantage for Infrastructure account includes a couple of things but the most notable is …Extended Security Maintenance (ESM) for EOL releases.
Yes, ESM updates for free.
