Ndikhumbula xa iCanonical yakhupha iXenial Xerus kwiminyaka emihlanu eyadlulayo. Phakathi iindaba zayoEnye yezo zinto zatsala umdla wam yeyona nto bayibiza ngokuba ziiphakheji ze-Snap. UMark Shuttleworth kunye nenkampani bathembisa ukuba bazakuba zezona zilungileyo, kwaye kwiminyaka emihlanu kamva andinakukwazi ukufaka enye okanye ezimbini kuwo nawuphi na umatshini wam weLinux kuba ndikhetha isoftware yokugcina esemthethweni okanye iPlppak. Kodwa leyo yinxalenye yexesha elidlulileyo, kuba kwiintsuku ezimbalwa, ngo-Epreli 29, Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus ifikelele esiphelweni somjikelo wayo wobomi.
Ngokwam, kwaye olu luluvo lwam, andiqondi ukuba kutheni umntu angafuna ukuhlala iminyaka emihlanu kuhlobo lwenkqubo yokusebenza, kwaye angaphantsi koku kunje Sebenzisa ubunye indlela endiyithanda ngayo. Ndiyaqonda ngokuyinxalenye ukuba iinkampani ziyayenza, okanye ukuba abanye bakhetha ukuhlala iminyaka emibini kuphela kwiinguqulelo ze-LTS, yiyo le nto bekhona, kodwa into ebalulekileyo apha kukuba iCanonical ayisabaxhasi abasebenzisi beXenial Xerus.
Ubuntu 16.04 ingena kwisigaba se-ESM kwishishini
Ukucamngca ecaleni, ngoku kukho iimeko ezimbini ezahlukeneyo: Njengoko kukhankanyiwe, iiCanonical ziyeke ukuxhasa abasebenzisi abaqhelekileyo, kodwa Ubuntu 16.04 ngoku sebenzisa isichazi ESM kumashishini, oko kuthetha inkxaso yenkxaso eyandisiweyo. Ngamanye amagama, iXenial Xerus ayisayi kuphinda ihlaziye ezinye iipakeji, ngaphandle kokuba isetyenziswa kwinkampani kwaye nenkxaso iyasebenza, kwimeko leyo iya kuqhubeka nokufumana uhlaziyo lokhuseleko kude kube ngu-2024, njengoko kuchaziwe apha.
Ngoku umbuzo wabanye uza kuba kukuphucula Ubuntu 18.04 okanye Ubuntu 20.04. Ingcebiso yam kukwenza ukuba utsibe kuFocal Fosa, kuba sele ikhona unyaka, inenkxaso ezine esele kwaye zombini inguqulelo ikhutshwe ngo-Epreli 2018 kwaye enye ikhutshwe kwiminyaka emibini kamva isebenzisa i-GNOME, kwaye iCanonical yaziwa ngokusebenza iphucule inguqulelo emva kwenguqulo. Nokuba ukhetha ntoni, Kuya kufuneka uhlaziye ngoku.
