  • Why this isn't called ubuntu-version or similar, I don't know, I can never remember the command. – pbhj Jan 15 '19 at 23:02

There can be many ways to do this-

  • You could find System Info in System Settings, or search for the same in the program menu, which would give you a GUI overview.
  • In terminal, enter cat /etc/os-release.
  • Or, in terminal enter lsb_release -a.
  • Or, type hostnamectl in the terminal.

If you need more details about kernels etc., you can type uname -a in the terminal. Read man page of the same at man uname for more details.

For more details, you can see this answer.

In order to do so you don't need to have any kind of programming knowledge. I highly suggest you to go System settings >> System details or software details!

I hope it helps. Thank you.
