Welcome to AskUbuntu. Your system is *way* too new for that version of Ubuntu. 18.04 will also be out of support in just a few days. It would be better to install 22.04 or 23.04 to get the most from your hardware.

Just FYI: The 18.04 tells you it was the 2018-April release of Ubuntu given the *year.month* format of Ubuntu releases (2000 being subtracted from the year). As 18.04 had 5 years of *standard* support from 2018-April; it's nearly all used up, so why waste time on a release that's almost EOSS (*end of standard support*) Also you didn't mention which 18.04 product you installed; if you installed the 2018-April GA kernel stack, or a later kernel HWE kernel stack (*the kernel stack being determined by product/ISO you didn't specify*)

@guiverc According to the official [Time to prepare for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS End of Standard Support on May 31, 2023](https://ubuntu.com/blog/18-04-end-of-standard-support) webpage Ubuntu 18.04 will reach the end of the standard, five-year maintenance window for Long-Term Support (LTS) releases on May 31, 2023. Please review your recent comments about 18.04 new questions.

@karel I realize that; I PM'd & spoke with Lech (*author of blog*) to confirm for Ubuntu News purposes (*days after the blog*) and got confirmation & reason for change. Upgraded packages will continue until 31-May-2023 as per the blog, but support as evidenced in `ubuntu-support-status` etc. still says April-2023 & I was told won't change. thus I've avoided an actual date & mention only *days* or the *five years of standard* support which hasn't been changed. I see the extra *month* of support as a free *bonus* giving existing users more time to upgrade, but new installations are still unwise

Just to confirm the 18.04 EOL date, what do you think we should do? Should we go with Lech's blog for existing 18.04 users?

Does this answer your question? [My wireless/WiFi connection does not work. What information is needed to diagnose the issue?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/425155/my-wireless-wifi-connection-does-not-work-what-information-is-needed-to-diagnos)

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
