Which OS version is running on my Librem5?

Gnome/Info says “PureOS 10 (Byzaniu…)”.
$ uname -a says “Linux pureos 6.6.0-1-librem5”.
How do they relate?
How can I make sure that I’m running PureOS 10.3 (I think this is the actual one)?
Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot!
Now I know it’s PureOS 10 (Byzantium).
VERSION_ID=“10”
But I still don’t know whether it’s 10.0, 10.3, 10.234 or whatever.
How can I find out?

As far as I know, there is no meaningful minor version like 10.0 or 10.3 for PureOS on the Librem 5, the version number for Byzantium is just 10 and as long as you have done “apt update” and “apt upgrade” you should have the current version. The kernel version “6.6.0-1-librem5” that you wrote above is the same as I have on my L5.

Why is it that you think you should have PureOS “10.3” ?

pureos.net says that 10.3 is the actual OS. I thought all OS on all computers and phones from puri.sm have the same OS, so the Librem5 should have 10.3 as well.
Now I know that my Librem5 has the current version (for Librem5).
But how do I get the information whether or not it’s 10.3?

Desktop subversion and phone subversion are different because they are different systems. The subversion doesn’t matter much. What does matter is the base (10) version

Okay, the subversion doesn’t matter much. But the phone subversions are different from each other. I just wanted to know which (phone) subversion I use (just because I am curios, there is no serious reason behind). And still I don’t know.

As far as I can tell, there is no subversion number for PureOS on the phone. For PureOS Byzantium it’s just version 10, there was never any 10.0 or 10.1 or anything like that. And then there is PureOS Crimson, which is version 11. (and I guess for the old PureOS Amber the version number was 9)

That was the conclusion I came to as well.

Also useful:

lsb_release -a

or if you just want to know the codename

lsb_release -c

Thank you! So the website says 10.3, but the phone doesn’t care about the “.3” Now I don’t care about the “.3”.

Just different ways they talk about it, the phone its own thing in terms of the work they have to do.
