[xubuntu-users] Xubuntu: End-of-life Question

[Klaipedaville on Google]

If you are not a bank then most probably you are going to be all right 
without any latest updates and all. Personally, I do not suffer any 
"must-have-the-very-latest-shiny-updates" syndromes. Most of the time the 
very latest ones are much worse than a couple of versions back. They can 
also break some of your current stuff you are used to. For example I have 
two machines that I never upgrade. Ever. Moreover, I turned off all the 
updates on these two because I am just happy with the way it is and it's 
been working perfectly fine.

I get confused about what happens when Xubuntu support ends. If I read 
correctly, that is before Ubuntu end-of-life for a release. For example, 
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is supported until April, 2021. Xubuntu is said to be 
supported until April, 2019.

Is it that the Xubuntu team stops working on 16.04 in April. But, that 
updates to *Ubuntu* are still available? Can one depend on downloads from 
Ubuntu's servers for security updates but that Xubuntu bugs will no longer 
be fixed?

Please clear up the confusion. If I don't upgrade immediately to 18.04, what 
are the consequences? I am still in no hurry to do this upgrade, given what 
I read in release notes and given the experience of others.

Thanks.
