Fedora 27 has reached the end of its life on November 30, you will have no more updates or security patches after this date.

Officially arriving on November 14, 2017, Fedora 27 received approximately 9500 updates throughout its development cycle.

Either way, with Fedora 28 and 29 already online, it does not make sense that this version continues to be maintained And now it is recommended that all users update their devices with one of the latest releases.

"At this point, the packages in the Fedora 27 repository no longer receive security updates, fixes, or enhancements. On the other hand, the community does not add new packages to the Fedora collection. Essentially, Fedora 27 will not change again, which means that you will not receive the benefits of an updated system”Is mentioned in the ad.

Fedora 29, the best upgrade option

Fedora 29 was released last October 30 in different versions, including Workstation, Server and Atomic, and the recommendation is that Fedora 27 users update to this version as soon as possible.

While the exact closing date for Fedora 29 has not been announced yet, new versions usually arrive every six months, so in six more months Fedora 28 will come to an end. this guarantees at least one year of support for Fedora 29.

There is no need to emphasize that Fedora 27 users will still be able to use their computers normally, albeit without security patches or bug fixes, so upgrade is best.
