Ubuntu 18.04 is EOL, unless you pay for extended support. How many people are paying for that support?

I hope the people complaining about the VSCode incompatibility aren't people running EOL software and complaining that other people aren't keeping their software compatible with it.

I upgraded a number of servers to Ubuntu 20.04 because Ubuntu 18.04 was EOL. I also upgraded my desktop to Debian 12. ;-)

Yeah I'm a big fan of aggressively dropping support for obsolete platforms unless someone is paying you a lot of money to do otherwise. Don't run software that isn't getting security patches.

The extended support is free for consumers.
