Here in 2025 @cemaxecuter mentioned, that 22.04 would be supported for years: https://sourceforge.net/p/dragonos-focal/tickets/55/#c6c1/2903
I realized today that Lubuntu 22.04 support end is next month. Not some years ahead. https://lubuntu.me/jammy-released/
What is the planned future about that? Would there be a move from Lubuntu to Ubuntu to stay at 22.04 and its kernel and software base or would there be a change of the x86_64 release to 24.04 in the next month before the updates stop? Are there software parts that are known to not work on 24.04?
Lubuntu’s page may say that, but the repos pointed to are Ubuntu which if you look here is supported for several more years
https://ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle
When you run apt update have a look at the repos, you’ll see what I mean. So a bit misleading by Lubuntu.
Nevertheless, I have a 24.04 build being tested that’s getting closer to feature parity with 22.04 by the week.

Nice to hear. There are some things inside the current release based on 22.04 that are too old to be used. For example the software named esptool. Its so old, it does not support the most of the esp32 devices that are sold today.
I was happy to first see that its preinstalled until i realized that its unusable for my use case.
Yes for that it’s best to grab just the latest git repo and run the python tool.
