I have a question which derived from a comment I got to another question. I know that LTS Ubuntu versions have support for 5 years so that means that Ubuntu 16.04 is supported up to 04/20.

If I replace the GUI of Ubuntu with another not supported version like mate (which I have done) without formatting is this considered an action that breaks the system and, thus, it is now considered Ubuntu mate instead of Ubuntu or not?

  • This applies for any package: only main is officially supported (and maybe restricted, but canonical depends on the original maintainers here), mate-desktop is in universe. If you install universe/multiverse packages it does not affect the support status of packages from main. See also. – pLumo Apr 24 '20 at 08:41
