How Do You Check Linux Is Centos or Ubuntu?
Contents

How do I know if I have CentOS or Ubuntu?

So, here are some approaches you can use:

  1. Use /etc/os-release awk -F= ‘/^NAME/{print $2}’ /etc/os-release.
  2. Use the lsb_release tools if available lsb_release -d | awk -F”t” ‘{print $2}’

How do I know if I have Linux Ubuntu?

Open your terminal either by using the Ctrl+Alt+T keyboard shortcut or by clicking on the terminal icon. Use the lsb_release -a command to display the Ubuntu version. Your Ubuntu version will be shown in the Description line.
