Lubuntu 23.10 is (now) End of Life (11 July 2024)

If you’re using Lubuntu 23.10 (or any other Ubuntu 23.10 or 23.10 flavor), please be warned that EOL warnings are now out; meaning you’re in the last six weeks of supported life.

Ubuntu announced its 23.10 (Mantic Minotaur) release almost 9 months ago, on October 12, 2023 and its support period is now nearing its end. Ubuntu 23.10 will reach end of life on July 11, 2024.

At that time, Ubuntu Security Notices will no longer include information or updated packages for Ubuntu 23.10.

The supported upgrade path from Ubuntu 23.10 is via Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

So if you’re using 23.10 still, please plan your release-upgrade somewhat soon, and refer to this page in our manual for upgrade instructions, and note any warnings in the Lubuntu 24.04 LTS release notes , or Ubuntu 24.04 LTS release notes.

Final end of life notices are now out too.

The closure of the repository was delayed a little; so some cleaning & other processes could complete for mantic, but all that completed & the archive/release is now fully closed.
