Ask Ubuntu Asked by Zozzizzez on December 8, 2021
I known that the uname -o
command will display the operating system. But when I run that on Ubuntu 20.04, I get
GNU/Linux
not Ubuntu
. Why is it like this?
Ubuntu is a GNU/Linux distribution.
man uname
tells me the -o options report
-o, --operating-system print the operating system
To me that is a valid answer, Ubuntu shows instead who packaged up the GNU/Linux operating system you are using.
I'd usually use lsb_release -a
to view details about what GNU/Linux I'm using, for my system I get
guiverc@d960-ubu2:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu Groovy Gorilla (development branch)
Release: 20.10
Codename: groovy
