[SOLVED] A (Very Small) Login Suggestion

cat /proc/version
is more fun than doing uname -a which everyone else uses

The trouble with BOTH of these commands is that they show only the version of the kernel that is actually mounted. To find, for example, the version of the LTS kernel I have on my computer, I’d have to reboot and use that LTS kernel to find out what version it is.

And then I’d have to reboot again so as to use the latest kernel version.

Clumsy at best.

It would have been nice if there had been some EASY way to actually show the available kernel version numbers on the login screen but that idea appears to be dead in the water.

Of course, it’s not a really important thing and I can live without it. I certainly do not want to cause any grief to the developers who have done such a great job with EndeavourOS.
