The last planned validation date is shown in the Tested Thru column. As mentioned above, this is a minimum of 3 years past the last sale date for a model.

JUST-WORKS BLISS

When the upstream proposes changes to the Kernel, Desktop, or Video Drivers, the Focus Team validates them on your hardware. Models are tested for a minimum of 3 years after last sale. If an issue is found, we work with KDE, Kubuntu, Ubuntu, Linux Kernel, and other teams to help fix it. We also pin "known-good-version" packages until the issue is resolved so you don’t see it.

The Focus Team performs validation testing in good faith to deliver better and more reliable software; however, this cannot change the Terms of Use of any software package. Please see the Terms and Conditions page to locate the terms for each package.
