There are number of ways on how to check Linux Mint version. Since Linux Mint comes with number of available Desktops the graphical user interface may differ from user to user hence the procedure is also different. From this reason the easiest and perhaps even recommend solution is to simply open up a command line terminal and execute the following command cat /etc/issue.

The common scenario is that you have been given an access to a Linux system physically or via remote login and you have no idea what Linux version is installed on this particular system. Given that many of the today’s Linux Distributions have implemented systemd as part of their core design, to check for a Linux version is in many cases relatively simple procedure.
The simplest way to check Linux version is by using the hostnamectl command without any arguments. For example the below hostnamectl command will return the Linux distribution name, version and codename in use along with the currently loaded Linux kernel version:
$ hostnamectl
Static hostname: x220
Icon name: computer-laptop
Chassis: laptop
Machine ID: 2d4efda5efb0430faeb2087d0a335c6b
Boot ID: f8c4a3a776a74d42878347efc2c00634
Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)
Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-9-amd64
Architecture: x86-64
It is a common mistake to refer to the entire GNU/Linux operating system simply as Linux. The important note here is that the so called Linux is actually only the Kernel part of the system whereas GNU is the actual system as in collection of pre-compiled binaries, libraries and system tools. Both GNU and Linux kernel must function in tandem in order for the operating system to actually work.
Hence, one cannot exists without the other, so next time when you talk about your operating system and you wish to be technically correct, refer to it as GNU/Linux or simply as Lignux.

Chef is a Ruby based configuration management tool used to define infrastructure as code. This enables users to automate the management of many nodes and maintain consistency across those nodes. Recipes declare the desired state for managed nodes and are created on a user’s workstation using the Chef Workstation package. Your recipes are distributed across nodes via a Chef server. A Chef client, installed on each node, is in charge of applying the recipe to its corresponding node. This guide will show you how to install and configure a Chef Server and Chef Workstation. We will also bootstrap a node to manage with Chef.

sudo commandWhen it comes to self hosted cloud storage Nextcloud is definitely the best option. It’s fully open source, and allows you full control over your server. You can, of course, create your own user accounts and manage access too.
There are a couple of options when it comes to setting up Nextcloud on Ubuntu. You can use Docker or you can follow the traditional install method. Either one will work. The Docker method will probably work better if you don’t want to configure and manage the entire server yourself.
