Ubuntu 18.04 EOL support for community supported apps

The best option is to upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04.2.0 LTS (Focal Fossa), which is supported until April 2025 with security and maintenance updates, guaranteed.
You have 2 options:

  1. A clean install by downloading the new release ISO file and making a bootable USB Flash Drive or DVD (make sure you do a full backup of all your files before installation of the new system)
  2. Upgrade your existing installation by issuing the following command:
    sudo do-release-upgrade -d
