What is the major version number of the kernel 4.15.0-88-generic?

Isn’t the correct answer 4? However, according to the KodeKloud content, the answer is 15. Which one is accurate?

HI @Aravind19

Can you please share the link to the lab or the course?

The linux kernel versions are numbered as follows

Kernel Version (or Release number) . Major Revision . Minor Revision - Patch
So the above is

  • Release - 4
  • Major - 15
  • Minor - 0
  • Patch - 88
