"PeppermintOS", and [Ubuntu] 'ESM' - TAKE NOTE!!

My findings from my [personal] investigations of the last four or five days do NOT bode well if you are expecting your Peppermint 10 to be extended a further five years!! If you are expecting that to be so, and don't take my findings as read, I suggest you take them onboard regardless to make your own foray and determine whether there is life in the old dog after April 2023 in the eyes of Ubuntu? I think NOT. Of course, there are no rules, and you can continue to use whatever you see fit? My last video was 'Xenial' [16.04] Peppermint 'Eight', and this video is 'Trusty' [14.04, c/w HWE stack, of course]. Both, I can confirm have not seemingly aged a single day, performance-wise!
Best wishes, stay safe...
