Support: Only nine months
Ubuntu 22.10 only gets nine months of support. Users who want to be supplied with updates for a longer period of time without having to upgrade to a new Ubuntu version should therefore better install Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, which was released just a few days ago, and remain loyal to it. Because the LTS versions get five years and even ten years of support for a fee (Extended Maintenance Release, ESM).
release date
Ubuntu 22.10 is scheduled for release on October 20, 2022. Check out the current schedule here at Canonical.
