For any Ubuntu or Linux Mint users out there still running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS or Linux Mint 19.x, it’s time to start upgrading to a newer version. This warning also goes out to users of other Ubuntu 18.04 LTS-based distributions, of which, there are many. Luckily, if your system runs Ubuntu 18.04 or distros based on this release, your system should also handle Ubuntu 22.04 LTS just fine and you’ll get newer packages.

For users on other Linux operating systems such as Linux Mint, either perform a clean install (probably the best idea) or seek out upgrade documentation from the project’s website. If you’re on Ubuntu, updating is very easy, just back up any documents you definitely can’t afford to lose then open the Software Updater, this program should let you know that there’s an upgrade available to a newer version. You may have to first upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and then to 22.04 LTS, if you only want to do one upgrade, you can stay on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS until April 2025.
