Real-time and Core editions of Ubuntu are here
Canonical has followed up the latest LTS release of Ubuntu with real-time and IoT editions, while ushering the last interim release into retirement.
The latest long-term support release of Ubuntu, 24.04 "Noble Numbat," appeared in late April along with a raft of other distro releases. Nearly a month later, Canonical opened the gates so that users of the previous interim release began receiving prompts to upgrade to the new version.
If you haven't done that yet, you should. Said interim release, Ubuntu 23.10 "Mantic Minotaur," which we looked at in mid-October last year, is now near its end of life. Ubuntu's announcement says that the Minotaur is being culled on July 11.

Anyone on Ubuntu 23.10 needs to think about upgrading to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS now because their version will stop getting updates on July 11. No updates means Ubuntu 23.10 will become less secure.
