i,

I used SUSE for a while and now, I'm back to Linux Mint. So, I formated my drive and installed a fresh mint version, everything went great as usual.
But after the installation, what I did, is what I do everytime, make the update and upgrade (apt-get update-upgrade) and reboot. The problem , if it is, is that after it, I installed neofetch, and here what I saw :

Code:
james@ninja
 OS: Linux Mint trixie/sid (xia)
        Host: MS-7B79 3.0
   Kernel: 6.8.0-56-generic
     Uptime: 17 mins

we can see
Code:
 Linux Mint trixie/sid (xia)
it is from neofetch

but I installed mint, not LMDE and by the way, even if I had installed LMDE, it is still based on bookworn..?

that one from
Code:
inxi -S

Code:
inxi -S
System:
  Host: ninja Kernel: 6.8.0-56-generic arch: x86_64 bits: 64
  Desktop: Cinnamon v: 6.4.8 Distro: Linux Mint 22.1 Xia

idea what is going on? , cause a friend of mine installed too mint and it is written from neofetch
Code:
Linux Mint 22.1 Xia
 


what I do everytime, make the update and upgrade (apt-get update-upgrade) and reboot.
Sudo apt update && apt upgrade -y
Followed by

sudo apt autoclean

restart needed only if kernel has been updated
 
Sudo apt update && apt upgrade -y

sudo apt autoclean

it is what I did yes. but that doesn't really have anything to do with any of this here, no?
I mean about that I see trixie-sid
 
What is the output of "cat /etc/os-release"?
 
Sudo apt update && apt upgrade -y
Followed by

sudo apt autoclean

restart needed only if kernel has been updated

That shows you are using Linux Mint not LMDE. Try installing "fastfetch" and run that to see what output that gives, since most distros have replace neofetch with fastfetch because neofetch not being developed anymore.

Just use fastfetch then, since 90% of people are using that now.
 
As the OP is using Mint, he could also use inxi for many reports
