Did you know it’s possible to get security updates for Ubuntu 16.04 until
2024 without paying for an enterprise Ubuntu support package

ESM is not a reason to never upgrade, it is simply a stop gap

I didn’t, not until today when a reader mailed in to tell me that Canonical
offers free* Ubuntu Advantage for Infrastructure* accounts for personal use
on up-to 3 machines (active Ubuntu members can use it on up to 50 machines).

A gratis Ubuntu Advantage for Infrastructure account includes a couple of
things but the most notable is …Extended Security Maintenance (ESM) for EOL
releases.

Yes, ESM updates <https://ubuntu.com/security/esm> for free.
