Detect "Ubuntu on Windows" vs native Ubuntu from bash script [duplicate]
It looks like /proc/version in Ubuntu on Windows contains:
Linux version 3.4.0-Microsoft (Microsoft@Microsoft.com) (gcc version 4.7 (GCC) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Dec 31 14:42:53 PST 2014
and my version of Ubuntu has:
Linux version 4.4.0-31-generic (buildd@lgw01-16) (gcc version 5.3.1 20160413 (Ubuntu 5.3.1-14ubuntu2.1) ) #50-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 13 00:07:12 UTC 2016
This code is working for me to detect which version of Ubuntu the script is running on:
if grep -q Microsoft /proc/version; then echo "Ubuntu on Windows"else echo "native Linux"fi
