There are several different methods to check your Debian version. You can find your current Linux version and distribution in a few easy steps. This information is crucial when it comes to updates, tools, and troubleshooting. Keep reading to find out how to check your Linux version and distribution.

You should see the Ubuntu version here along with the information about the desktop environment you are using, GNOME being the case here.
So, you just learned how to find your Ubuntu version. But what about other information? Which desktop environment are you using? Which Linux kernel version is being used? Of course there are various commands you can use to get all that information, but I recommend a command line utility called Neofetch. This will show you essential system information in the terminal beautifully accompanied by the ascii logo of the Linux distribution you are using.
Once installed, simply run the command neofetch in the terminal and see a beautiful display of system information. These are production-quality releases and are supported for 9 months, with sufficient time provided for users to update, but these releases do not receive the long-term commitment of LTS releases.
Interim releases will introduce new capabilities from Canonical and upstream open source projects, they serve as a proving ground for these new capabilities. Interim releases receive full security maintenance for 'main' during their lifespan. A release of Ubuntu is made through several different channels.
What you consume will depend on where you are and what your interests happen to be. The heart of Ubuntu is a collection of 'deb' packages which are tested and integrated so that they work well as a set. Debs are optimised for highly structured dependency management, enabling you to combine debs very richly while ensuring that the necessary software dependencies for each deb themselves delivered as debs are installed on your machine.
Ubuntu also supports 'snap' packages which are more suited for third-party applications and tools which evolve at their own speed, independently of Ubuntu. If you want to install a high-profile app like Skype or a toolchain like the latest version of Golang, you probably want the snap because it will give you fresher versions and more control of the specific major versions you want to track. Snaps each pick a 'base', for example, Ubuntu18 corresponding to the set of minimal debs in Ubuntu Nevertheless, the choice of base does not impact on your ability to use a snap on any of the supported Linux distributions or versions — it's a choice of the publisher and should be invisible to you as a user or developer.
A snap can be strictly confined, which means that it operates in a secure box with only predefined points of access to the rest of the system. For third-party applications, this means that you will have a very high level of confidence that the app can only see appropriate data that you have provided to it. Snaps can also be 'classic' which means that they behave more like debs, and can see everything on your system. You should make sure you have a high level of confidence in the publisher of any classic snap you install since a compromise or bad faith behaviour in that code is not confined to the app itself.
It is also common to consume Ubuntu as an image on a public cloud, or as a container. Ubuntu is published by Canonical on all major public clouds, and the latest image for each LTS version will always include security updates rolled up to at most two weeks ago.
You may benefit from installing newer updates than that, but the base image you boot on the cloud should always be the current one from Canonical to ensure that it is broadly up to date and the number of updates needed for full security is minimal.
