Check the version a GNU/Linux distribution from the command line
To display the version of the currently installed GNU/Linux distribution, run:
$ lsb_release -a
The shell should display something like:
Distributor ID: Trisquel
Description: Trisquel GNU/Linux Nabia (10.0.1)
Release: 10.0.1
Codename: nabia
The option -a
i.e. --all
tells lsb_release
to display all information available: the distributor’s ID as well as a description, the release number and the code name of the currently installed distribution.
Run $ man lsb_release
to see all options.

I do self-funded research and I'm writing a book.
> What's the book about?

Can usage of technologies give us a sense of empowerment while in fact undermining our abilities?
I posted a summary of the prologue on the homepage: https://yctct.com/
