I love how in Garuda linux, the same command as sudo apt update;sudo apt upgrade is just yay. Like "Yay, I'm upgrading my system!" Makes me happy when I run it even though it is a bit like pulling a slot machine lever for if it's going to break something in my system. My plasmashell environment only recently got fixed. It was crashing like crazy for about 2 weeks.

So at work they want to switch all our servers from Debian to Ubuntu and now I read this? I'm so confused right now...

If you have pro enabled on an LTS version of Ubuntu, then you get live security updates, too include the kernel, as well as security updates for 10 years. Handy for developer workstations though. These people are whining and crying when desktop users rarely use the LTS version.

I currently try Bazzite, which is a gaming focused fedora-atomic spinoff. I think this is finally my distro to switch the desktop from windows.

I was annoyed too when I saw the message, but, if I understood it correctly, it's a matter of widening the scope of the LTS version. The extra packages would only be updated on the next release, or are already updated if you don't use LTS. The message make it seem like they are withholding security patches, but it has always been like that and nobody cared. We just want everything to be updated, even if it'll make no difference.

My ubuntu experience since 4.0

Either Something Has Gone Wrong, or Serious system problem detected.

Even Recently! You would think new installs with nothing added wouldnt happen but here we are.
