This is microsoft-like in terms of how long the system is supported. Hats off to Canonical. Also, there is a way to "cheat" if you have 16.04 on your desktop and still wants security updates: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2021/09/ubuntu-16-04-security-updates-esm-for-free https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2021/09/ubuntu-16-04-security-up... Note that 16.04 is reasonably well supported on modern hardware because of hardware enablement updates and you can use modern software with snaps, appimages and flatpak.
