Hey guys dumb question I know it's in beta1 testing but if I were to install 18.04 on my new Dell would I still get the security updates I need I understand the bugs which that is the beta but my laptop came with Windows 10 and starting to dislike it I know there's 16.04 but thought I could jump to 18.04 I don't do much on my laptop just my banking social media browse and email

so I would rather install 16.04, which is stable. But obviously you will get updates for 18.04 too.

Thanks Pan64 sorry for the dumb question I thought I would get the updates for the repositoies I would just get bugs from being a beta but wouldn't that help the developers if I send the errors messages I really Ubuntu been using it since Ubuntu 7 came a long I only suggesting this Pan64 because my laptop which I bought new came 10 and I find it like any other Windows OS resource hug
I'm sure I'd still be more with the 18.04 beta then 10

Pre-releases of the Bionic Beaver are not encouraged for anyone needing a stable system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even frequent breakage. They are, however, recommended for Ubuntu flavor developers and those who want to help in testing, reporting, and fixing bugs as we work towards getting this release ready.

Just use it as extensively as you can. If you come across any bugs, here is the Ubuntu page on bug reporting - let us know if you have any queries on the information it contains:
