The graph in that source page makes it look like Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS (v4.15) will be supported for 5 years but Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS will only be supported for 6 or 9 months.

The LTS version is supported for 3 years while the regular releases are supported for 9 months.
^ I imagine that the LTS version they refer to is 18.04.1
and the regular releases they refer to is the 18.04.2
, .3
, etc.
- Should I install 18.04.1 or 18.04.2?
- If I'm on 18.04.2 and that LTS is only supported for 9 months, does that mean I need to do a
sudo apt dist-upgrade
to go to 18.04.3 in order to continue getting security updates? - If I'm on 18.04.1 and that LTS is supported for 5 years, does that mean I don't have to do a
sudo apt dist-upgrade
in order to continue receiving security updates?
Thank you
