The sun will most likley expand to encompas atleast earth and maybe even mars and then it will shrink and explode or shrink and fade away. And that might push jupiter into becomeing a new dwarf sun and rearange the surviving orbital bodies into a new system. But this is a far few years away and humanity will not be around one way or another.

Jupiter needs another 15 jupiters colliding into it to be able to "ignite"

It will turn into a white dwarf. It's not massive enough to explode.
