Great blog! One remark: support for Ubuntu Server LTS is 5 years
Excellent article, well documented! This should be very helpful for decision making, particularly in companies.

One remark though: the server edition of Ubuntu is longer supported than you have written. Plus not every server edition is LTS....

An Ubuntu LTS server edition is supported with security and stability updates for 5 years. A "normal" Ubuntu server edition receives support for only 18 months. So as a company, you will want LTS for your server, and not a normal server edition..
See the release cycle (note the orange bar for the extended support of the LTS server edition):
