Heya,
Just a simple question: I am trying to locate which Ubuntu MATE version I am really running.
If I look at “System” menu -> “Welcome” the main menu states 16.04.
If I look under /etc/os-release it then states that I am running 16.04.1.
Yet if I look under Software Boutique it says “Version: 16.10.0xenial1.12”
At this point, I am pretty sure that I am running 16.10 as there are no pending update and upgrades.
So my question: why doesn’t /etc/os-release gets updated? Does it always point to the original install flavor or should it upgrade over time as the system evolves?
Thanks in advance,
DLS
