Ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish) released
October 18, 2018

Codenamed "Cosmic Cuttlefish", 18.10 continues Ubuntu's proud tradition of integrating the latest and greatest open source technologies into a high-quality, easy-to-use Linux distribution. The team has been hard at work through this cycle, introducing new features and fixing bugs.

The Ubuntu kernel has been updated to the 4.18 based Linux kernel, our default toolchain has moved to gcc 8.2 with glibc 2.28, and we've also updated to openssl 1.1.1 and gnutls 3.6.4 with TLS1.3 support.

Ubuntu Desktop 18.04 LTS brings a fresh look with the community-driven Yaru theme replacing our long-serving Ambiance and Radiance themes. We are shipping the latest GNOME 3.30, Firefox 63, LibreOffice 6.1.2, and many others.

Ubuntu 18.10 'Cosmic Cuttlefish' reaches end of life

Just as with Windows, each build of Ubuntu, one of the biggest Linux distros on the market, has a finite level of support. In this case, as it isn't an LTS release, 18.10 had nine months of support, but all good things must come to an end.
From this point, users of 18.10 will no longer receive security updates to their operating system, which could leave it open to attacks from external nasties.

In a statement, the company confirmed: "Ubuntu announced its 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish) release almost 9 months ago, on October 18, 2018. As a non-LTS release, 18.10 has a nine-month support cycle and, as such, the support period is now nearing its end and Ubuntu 18.10 will reach end of life on Thursday, July 18th."
The Ubuntu website gives full instructions on how to upgrade, whether you're running a desktop or server edition. Either way, it's pretty straight forward.

If you're running 18.10, you need to upgrade - you're EoL from midnight.
