This page goes into detail on the different releases:
https://ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle
This command can be used in a terminal window to display what's
currently supported in any release:
ubuntu-support-status
For a more in-depth report, the --show-all option can be added to
that command:
ubuntu-support-status --show-all
