Created attachment 133150 [details] Operating system version is empty I install system monitor from here: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/KDE:Frameworks5/plasma5-systemmonitor The operating system name and version only show openSUSE Tumbleweed. The operating system version is empty. (see screenshot) It should show openSUSE TW version, something like 20201105. System monitor 1.0 Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20201105 KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.75.0 Qt Version: 5.15.1 Kernel Version: 5.9.1-1-default OS Type: 64-bit Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz Memory: 7.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa DRI Intel® HD Graphics 4000
What are the contents of /etc/os-release and /etc/lsb-release I imagine it's from one of those.
Tumbleweed is a rolling release if I recall correctly, most of the time it does not make a whole lot of sense for those to have a version number. Most likely OpenSuse does set one in /etc/os-release where the data comes from.

I would suggest using VERSION_ID for OS version.
According to the spec both version and version_id are optional which doesn't make things easy. https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/os-release.html Arjen is it possible to check if version exists, if that doesn't try version_id? Also not sure why openSUSE would include the version item and then comment it out or is that something you've done Andy?
Nevermind on that Andy, it's commented out on the Live ISO of openSUSE, not sure why they do that.

I was told that VERSION is commented out because openSUSE Tumbleweed does not have a version. The only thing that was not commented out is VERSION_ID.
In that case, I think not showing a version is correct. In addition, accoding to https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/os-release.html VERSION_ID is intended for scripts and programmatic use and not meant to be displayed to the user.
