@ax6761 Well, you could call it an implementation glitch. #uname is *meant* to give you information about "the OS", but has always been implemented as a #syscall, therefore actually telling you something about the #kernel.

In #FreeBSD, the kernel doesn't *have* to be the exact same version as the userland, and for security updates, a new kernel is only built when some patch actually affects the kernel.

Note that on a #Linux system, it's arguably even "worse", as Linux is nothing but the kernel. TO know version information about the rest of your installed OS, you'll have to use distribution specific information (or more recently look at the now standardized /etc/osrelease).

A few tooters have asked me what my config is, at which I replied that I run the Fediverse, platform agnostic. Then one asked what one of my main horizontal display systems run, at which I now reply with

` uname -a`
{Linux devakprata 6.12.13-2-liquorix-amd64 #1 ZEN SMP PREEMPT liquorix 6.12-18~mx23ahs (2025-02-10) x86_64 GNU/Linux}

**Note**
I left the results of

`cat /proc/cpuinfo` out since I would get that 16 times!!!
