LTS

Current long-term support (LTS) releases are supported for five years, and are released every two years. Since the release of Ubuntu 6.06, every fourth release receives long-term support.[30] Long-term support includes updates for new hardware, security patches and updates to the ‘Ubuntu stack’ (cloud computing infrastructure).[33] The first LTS releases were supported for three years on the desktop and five years on the server; since Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, desktop support for LTS releases was increased to five years as well.[34][35][36] LTS releases get regular point releases with support for new hardware and integration of all the updates published in that series to date.[37]
