This page keeps all Linux related quick commands and shortcuts, as well as useful other information.

==== Get OS information ====
Get OS information from ''/etc/os-release''.

Example: Debian:
<code bash>
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="11"
VERSION="11 (bullseye)"
VERSION_CODENAME=bullseye
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"
</code>

Import this to a bash script via:

The var ''ID'' is then ''debian'':
<code bash>
if [ -f /etc/os-release ]; then
  . /etc/os-release
  ID=$ID
fi
</code>
