Linux Lite series 5 will get updates until end of support in April 2025.
I have no information about LL series 6 but previous cycles imply that 6.0 is likely to be released in June 2022. If the release pattern is followed, moving to LL 6.0 will require a fresh install of the OS followed by re-installation of any extra applications and copying personal data across.
Hope this helps.
[member=49515]Utat[/member] as [member=9039]stevef[/member] has mentioned... LL5.8 will be the last of the series.. Its an easy in place upgrade; Anything in a new series is a fresh install.
If curious of roadmap- - https://www.linuxliteos.com/download.php#roadmap
LL6.0 isnt listed as of yet but I'd say June timeframe is reasonable
