Hi,
after full support, you have :
* LTS (by Debian) : https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
* Extended-LTS (by Freexian) : https://www.freexian.com/
So you have a LTS support until June 30, 2028
Best regards,
Xavier

Dear Sir or Madam,
Dear Sir or Madam,
I would like to inquire about the official End-of-Life (EOL) date of
Debian 12 (“Bookworm”), as I have encountered conflicting information.
According to statements from the Proxmox team, the Proxmox Virtual
Environment reaches its End of Life alongside Debian 12, which they
indicate is in August 2026.
However, the following official Debian resources list the EOL date as
June 10, 2026:
* https://www.debian.org/releases/oldstable/
* https://www.debian.org/releases/
* https://wiki.debian.org/DebianReleases#Versions_of_Debian_stable
After contacting Proxmox support, I received the following explanation:
“Hello Max,
Please see the footnote at the linked page:
"Reminder: the EOL date for the stable release is the date of the next
stable release plus one year. For example, Debian bullseye ("buster
+1") was released on 2021-08-14 so Debian buster's EOL is around
2022-08."
Best Regards, Proxmox Office Team”
The footnote can be found in
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianReleases#Versions_of_Debian_stable
This information (also referenced in the Debian Wiki) seems to differ
from the fixed date published on the Debian websites.
Could you please clarify which date accurately reflects the End of
Life for Debian 12?
Specifically, I would like to understand whether the EOL is determined
by a fixed schedule or dynamically based on the release date of the
subsequent Debian version.
Thank you very much for your assistance.
Kind regards,
