Description
```
tamird@pc:~/src$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease
6.2.0-24-generic
tamird@pc:~/src$ cat /proc/version_signature
Ubuntu 6.2.0-24.24-generic 6.2.12
```
Per [this article](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/FAQ/GeneralVersionRunning) the upstream kernel version is the rightmost field (so 6.2.12 in my case) while `/proc/sys/kernel/osrelease` reports `6.2.0`.
There are possibly some gotchas with Debian as well -- I'm not sure if there's a universal way to get this information right for all distros.
