How do I check my Linux version in the terminal (lsb_release, /etc/os-release, hostnamectl)
In this video, I'll show you how to quickly and reliably check your Linux version in the terminal. You'll learn three simple methods: the command "lsb_release -a", reading the file "/etc/os-release" with `cat`, and the command "hostnamectl". The output will show you the distribution (e.g., Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS), version number, and additional system information. All steps are demonstrated in the terminal, and the most important fields are explained, including a brief overview of kernel information, which I'll cover in more detail in the next video.
