How can you determine the operating system type on your device in Linux?

The type of Linux operating system used can be determined in several ways:

• View the contents of the /etc/os-release file, which contains information about the distribution:

cat /etc/os-release

• Use the lsb_release -a command (if installed), which displays information about the distribution:

lsb_release -a

• Check the contents of other files, such as /etc/issue or /etc/*-release.

These methods allow you to find out the name of the distribution (Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian, etc.) and its version.
