Quick Answer: What Linux Kernel Do I Have?
Contents

How do I find my Linux kernel version?

Find Linux kernel using uname command.

uname is the Linux command to get system information.

You can also use it to know if you are using a 32-bit or 64-bit system.

This means that you are running Linux kernel 4.4.0-97 or in more generic terms, you are running Linux kernel version 4.4.

What is the current Linux kernel version?

Linus Torvalds quietly released the latest Linux 4.14 kernel on Nov. 12. It won’t be a quiet release, though. The Linux developers had previously announced that 4.14 would be Linux’s next long-term support (LTS) version of the Linux kernel. That’s important because Linux LTS version now has a six-year life span.
