Ubuntu 17.04, the Last Release with Unity 7, Reaches End of Life on January 13

Canonical announced today that it's putting an end to the support offered by the Linux company for its Ubuntu 17.04 "Zesty Zapus" operating system next week on January 13.

Launched last year on April 13, Ubuntu 17.04 was a powerful release, both inside and outside, running the latest (at that time) stable Linux 4.10 kernel series and shipping with an up-to-date graphics stack based on Mesa 17.0 and X.Org Server 1.19 series. It was also the last Ubuntu release to ship with the Unity 7 desktop by default.

"As a non-LTS release, 17.04 has a 9-month support cycle and, as such, will reach end of life on Saturday, January 13th," says Steve Langasek, Engineering Manager, Ubuntu Foundations at Canonical. "At that time, Ubuntu Security Notices will no longer include information or updated packages for Ubuntu 17.04."

Users are urged to upgrade to Ubuntu 17.10 immediatelyread more)
