Ubuntu 24.10 Support Ends July 10th – Upgrade Soon
Quoting: Ubuntu 24.10 Support Ends July 10th – Upgrade Soon - OMG! Ubuntu —
All soothsaying stragglers sticking with Ubuntu 24.10 beyond July 10 will no longer receive security or bug fix updates from Canonical — no matter how critical. Users should consult the stars to see if an upgrade to Ubuntu 25.04 ‘Plucky Puffin’ is in their future.
No further updates will be issued for Ubuntu 24.10 beyond July 10 – so upgrade soon!
Usually, when covering an EOL announcement I’d say something like “most people using Ubuntu interim releases upgrade as soon as the next one arrives”.

Ubuntu 24.10 'Oracular Oriole' Support Is About to End
The interim version of Ubuntu Linux released in October of last year will soon get its last security update. That means, if you're running Ubuntu 24.10, it's time to start considering your upgrade path.
Canonical has said that Ubuntu 24.10, nicknamed "Oracular Oriole" is going to be considered to have reached "End of Life" on July 10, 2025. That means no more updates of any kind, so your device's security and overall stability will be at risk if you keep using Oracular Oriole beyond the 10th. This is also true of Ubuntu flavors based on this release, including Kubuntu 24.10, Lubuntu 24.10, Ubuntu Budgie 24.10, and so on.

Ubuntu 24.10 'Oracular Oriole' Support Is About to End
If you're currently using Oracular Oriole, your only option to avoid both losing support and having to nuke and pave your installation is to upgrade to Ubuntu 25.04 "Plucky Puffin." In a post to the project discussion board, an Ubuntu developer said, "We recommend upgrading to a newer Ubuntu release before your current version reaches End of Life, to ensure your system remains up-to-date and protected against the latest security vulnerabilities."
You may have heard about upgrade issues on Ubuntu 24.10, but those have since been resolved. As long as you've been keeping your installation up-to-date, you shouldn't have any problems.
Not sure what version of Ubuntu you're using? In an Ubuntu desktop, you can check it by opening the Settings app and going to System > About, and look at the Operating System value.

Ubuntu 24.10 Nears Its End of Life
Ubuntu 24.10, codenamed Oracular Oriole, is approaching its end of life (EOL) on July 10, 2025, marking the conclusion of its nine-month support period.
Initially released on October 10, 2024, the short-term release will soon stop receiving security updates and bug fixes, leaving systems potentially vulnerable if not upgraded.
According to an announcement by Canonical’s Utkarsh Gupta, Ubuntu Security Notices (USNs) will no longer include updates for 24.10 after the EOL date.
While this is standard for Ubuntu’s non-LTS (Long-Term Support) releases, users still running Oracular Oriole should plan their migration to Ubuntu 25.04—the next supported version—sooner rather than later.
