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.
