First of all, I don’t use my Fedora installations until their end of life, so I don’t know if we have any means in place that shall make users aware once their release reaches end of life?

Fedora Workstation will display a nag notification once per week when a newer release is available, so unless you uninstall GNOME Software or ignore all notifications, you should at least be aware that a newer version is available.

I had thought we had daily nag notifications once the release has reached end of life, but maybe I was imagining it because I can't find any evidence that this actually exists. I think GNOME Software should look at SUPPORT_END in /etc/os-release and nag more frequently.


Please do not clutter the user experience with such _additional_
informations. The user on such workstations are not always the
administrator and such informations would not help/change the
situation either. I actually do a lot of config work to disable
such UI "features". For my case the user does not even understands
or notice it when a major upgrade was done (albeit some UI improvments).
Of course the active usage of Gnome software or dnf could and should
provide such information in a prominent way ...
