I was about to comment that even the 5-year standard support of LTS releases seems to end before I'm ready, but I looked at the release cycle page and 24.04 is posted with a 10 year (ending Apr 2034) standard support lifetime. Is that a typo or did they put the "pro" (paid) support end date in the wrong column?

That's with ESM, which is only free for up to 5 machines, IIRC.

Also only free for non-commercial use since it’s “extended” support, but it’s relatively affordable if you’re in a pinch and must buy it.
