Ah, it's always good to get those boring but necessary tasks done and dusted! Personally, I never let myself range into EOL versions of OS because. I get ants in my pants, not that I ever will given Garuda Linux and Solus can pretty much be installed once and upgraded for years at a time.

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Lmde has in-place upgrade, which is useful, and made it boring and mundane (ok by me!). I wouldn't call a month before EOL as playing with fire yet, but I was getting mighty close lol
I used to use Solus, back when it was Evolve, when I was distro hopping. Never used Garuda.
Hah, you were in range of a polite reminder to update your OS before EOL enters effect. Garuda Linux is pretty much Arch with an actual installer and sane defaults. Never boring and always rolling, I have yet to suffer major issues with their colorful KDE edition. Just the Sway Edition of Garuda which the maintainer will fix after university and job hunting is less of an issue.
Solus is beautiful, consistent, and has a good community of helpful peeps. I will be recommending them over Ubuntu to new Linux users. As it is rolling release done well.
linux mint upgrades are wonderfully uneventful. clem does an amazing job with that.
