Good idea! Is anyone aware of (hopefully standard) ways to know if distros are EOL? In Debian/Ubuntu, the utility 'distro-info' (package 'distro-info') can be used to list the currently supported releases with 'distro-info --supported'. Alternatively the package 'distro-info-data' provides .csv files with the support dates of each release from Ubuntu and Debian. A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/discover/-/merge_requests/249 Git commit 01ca64c0144a3bcbe48ed3e732eab94f7b76b24a by Aleix Pol Gonzalez, on behalf of Aleix Pol.

Created attachment 145998 [details] The screenshot shows that only the "Software & Updates" component shows EOL information. Hi, it would be helpful, if the package updater would notify the user, if there are no more security updates. I think this would be inline with the user's expectation, since there are system notifications when there are regular updates (both for manually and automatically performed "apt update"). Only the "Software & Updates" component shows EOL information. I presume that issues exists for the current Kubuntu versions as well. In my case, I missed the EOL announcement online and only noticed because I was wondering why no update was coming to fix CVE-2021-4034.
