That said, the Ubuntu stack (including lowlatency kernel) will be supported for 5 years. There will be no backports other than those items backported in the official Ubuntu repositories. What this means: There will be no further versions of the Ubuntu Studio 18.04 ISO image file. If you would like to change that for future releases, please help!
That said, we simply do not currently have the manpower that it takes to support a Long-Term Support version. We do this out of passion for the project. Nobody on the Ubuntu Studio team is employed by Canonical. This entire project is run by volunteers. We especially need help with packaging and documentation. Maybe to 20.04, if it’ll be a LTS release.įor everyone who is asking why it’s not an LTS, let me be clear: we are very much in need of volunteers to help with development. My laptop with a keyboard controller is so well configured with Ubuntu Studio 16.04 LTS that I don’t see why should I ever upgrade it. Else maybe it’s time to give Ubuntu the heave ho……. If the low-latency kernel will still get support throughout the whole LTS release cycle it’s probably worth it. It seems weird that for one year there will be no supported LTS version of Studio in existence at all with this announcement! Makes you wonder whether to bother with 18.04 at all….

The easiest way to create a bug report is with the terminal. Taking the time to report bugs makes a huge difference it’s the first step towards improvement! Clear and specific bug reports is the best way to get attention to a problem that needs fixing. Just head over to our contribute page to find out how to get started. We are open to volunteers with all expertise levels. Your contribution is precious regardless of your field of activity. Even if you are interested in contributing outside these areas, please do not hesitate to reach out. We are looking for developers, packagers and testers. Ubuntu Studio is maintained by a very small team and we are actively seeking new contributors. Information on newer packages can be found in the release notes. There are no notable changes in this release since 17.10 Artful Aardvark.
Please see the release notes for a complete list of changes and known issues. Since it’s just out, you may experience some issues, so you might want to wait a bit before upgrading. Although it is not a Long-Term Support release, it is still based on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS which means the components will be supported as usual for a LTS release. As a regular release, it will be supported for 9 months. We are happy to announce the release of our latest version, Ubuntu Studio 18.04 Bionic Beaver! Unlike the other Ubuntu flavors, this release of Ubuntu Studio is not a Long-Term Suppport (LTS) release.
