The Lubuntu Team announces that as a non-LTS release, 17.04 has a 9-month support cycle and, as such, reached end of life on Saturday, January 13, 2018. Lubuntu will no longer provide bug fixes or security updates for 17.04, and we strongly recommend that you update to 17.10, which continues to be actively supported with security updates and select high-impact bug fixes.

For more details on upgrading to 17.10, take a look at the 17.10 release blog post or the blog post we wrote last week about the 17.04 EOL and the 17.10 respins.

We are also happy to announce that we are launching a new YouTube channel, and to kick things off, the first video on this channel was created by community member Schyken who shows how to upgrade from 17.04 to 17.10:
