Tested and works well here! I would say commit (unless someone else disagrees).

For me, the version showed up as "22.04". I actually expected my kernel
version to show up. This is a bit strange, since it doesn't say "Ubuntu"
anywhere, but I think in many cases the distribution could be inferred
from the number anyway. And in any case, I think this will be most
useful for macOS and Windows.

Thanks!
