I installed the Kubuntu 16.04 beta 2 and I plan to upgrade to the final release when it's out. I just want to know now how to check so I can make sure.

The solution here tells me that I have the stable version, even though I don't

After the release announcement is made, check that all your packages are up to date, e.g., sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade should say

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

If it does, you are on "the final release" (i.e., you have the same set of packages as someone who downloaded the release ISO and installed from it).

You can look at your version by simply putting this command in terminal:

cat /etc/issue

LTS - means long term support

Here is more information about releases:

    This does not answer OP's question, as /etc/issue only says Ubuntu 16.04 LTS even though it is not officially released yet. – fkraiem Apr 18 '16 at 12:47
