    To check your Linux version, you can use the lsb_release, uname, hostnamectl, or /proc/version commands in a terminal. 

    lsb_release
    • Enter lsb_release -a or cat /etc/os-release in a terminal 
    • The Description line displays the Linux distribution and version 
    • Use the -d switch to display just the description line 
    uname 

    • Use the uname command to check the kernel version
    • When used without arguments, the command displays the OS name (Linux)
    • Use the -r flag to return a string indicating your kernel version
    hostnamectl 

    • Use the hostnamectl command to display the Linux kernel version
    • This command is a component of systemd
    cat /proc/version 

    • Use the cat /proc/version command to view brief information, including the kernel version of your Linux system
