"Stretch" Security updates ended last July (2020). 73

This isn't entirely true as the whole support area around Raspberry Pi OS is confusing (kernel vs. distro):

?? - Kernels: Support from the Raspberry Pi foundation for new kernels is only for the *current* version of OS.? For example, when Buster was released, the Raspberry Pi foundation basically stopped releasing any new kernel updates for Stretch though there were some rare urgent exceptions.? : I personally would recommend anyone who really cares about security to upgrade or replace the OS to the newest released OS it's released.? For the Raspberry Pi OS cadence, that's typically the Debian release date + one month

?? - Distro:? Dave is correct.? The main support for Raspberry Pi OS Stretch ended in July 2020 as part of Debian's 2 year cycle.? Please don't confuse Raspberry Pi OS's patching support with say Debian LTS program.? There still isn't any LTS concept for Raspberry Pi OS at this time (but it has been discussed many times:? )


If you want a longer life OS, you're currently going to need to move STOP using Raspberry Pi OS to a different distribution such as real Debian.? Most things should work with "real" Debian but it's not going to have the same level of hardware support that Raspberry Pi OS offers.? If you were using true Debian Stretch, you could have enabled Debian's volunteer only supported LTS:

Please inform us when Debian "Stretch" support will expire on the RPi.

Means nothing for the Pi.? Natively, Debian has minimal support only through the Pi 3 series.? Raspbian is now called RaspberryPiOS, has driver's and firmware the pi's require for proper functionality.??

And Pi4 is only supported by Buster, the Pi4 8gb and the Pi 400 all need the Dec 2020 version of Buster or newer
