    Why doesn't System Information identify 20.04 as an LTS?

    Just curious of course. System Information identifies 20.04 as just that: 20.04. It doesn't include the LTS identifier. Has this always been so for all Kubuntu LTS releases?

    Probably the string that is read to provide the info doesn't include it?

    I haven't yet determined how it reads 'Kubuntu' as all the well known OS identifiers show 'Ubuntu' , as expected.

    The only string in /etc/os-release that includes 'LTS' is PRETTY_NAME, which also includes 'Ubuntu', and VERSION. lsb_release has a similar descriptor.
    My first thought it is reading NAME and VERSION_ID from /etc/os-release, but that would show as 'Ubuntu' and '20.04'.

      And fwiw, 18.04 shows the same way.
