Just curious as to when the next LTS distro release will be. Running 18.04 at the moment, and, though I'm happy with it, I'm just ready for the next one. I understand the difference between LTS and Normal releases, just unsure of the release scheduling itself.

    20.04 will be LTS which is scheduled to release in April 2020. – Kulfy Jul 06 '19 at 09:24

    fyi: 18.04 means the 2018.April release (ie. main Ubuntu releases are *yy.mm* in format), so 20.04 means 2020.April. Some releases are *yy* in format only, eg. Ubuntu Core 18 refers to the 2018 Ubuntu Core release (a specialized IoT appliance release). Release are April & October, thus .04 & .10 (with exception of 2006.June release as that first LTS release was late) – guiverc Jul 06 '19 at 09:48

LTS are published every two years. The current one is 18.04 so the next one will be 20.04. From Ubuntu's website:

LTS or ‘Long Term Support’ releases are published every two years in April.
