Time is running out for the end of support for the Ubuntu 24.10 series, so you'll need to upgrade quite soon to continue getting security fixes.

Canonical sent out an announcement reminder that support ends July 10th, since this is one of their interim releases. You should be able to just jump right up to the latest Ubuntu 25.04 release from April. This does not affect anyone on the current LTS (long term support) release which is Ubuntu 24.04 LTS as that is supported until April 2029 at a minimum with their standard support cycle.

The latest interim release with Ubuntu 25.04 will be supported until January 2026, with Ubuntu 25.10 due out in October, so come January you'll need to upgrade again if you're not sticking with the LTS releases.

If you're on Ubuntu 24.10 still see Canonical's upgrade page for more.
