Oh, weird. Is it that old?? I'm pretty sure I installed it on here less
than a year ago.

 
 
He's clearly confusing your kernel version for a Debian OS version
number.

uname -a
Linux kropotkin 6.8.0-48-generic #48~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC
Mon Oct  7 11:24:13 UTC 2 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

That gives the Ubuntu version more or less. man uname says

-a, --all
print  all  information, in the following order, except omit -p and -i if 
unknown:

which breaks down to

uname -s  Linux
uname -n  kropotkin
uname -r  6.8.0-48-generic
uname -v  #48~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon Oct  7 11:24:13 UTC 2
uname -m  x86_64
uname -p  x86_64
uname -i  x86_64
uname -o  GNU/Linux

p and i are non-portable but apparently the AMD Ubuntu box has them. v
must be sort of freeform. I was trying to interpret

#1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.115-1 (2024-11-01)

and saw the Debian. The 6.1 kernel would be from last year. I'm not sure
what the timestamp is and the man page doesn't go into it.

hostnamectl (yeah, it's systemd) says

Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS             
Kernel: Linux 6.8.0-48-generic
Architecture: x86-64

Thr RPi, which is derived from Debian says  Debian 1.6.6.51 so I have no
idea what that refers to.  The fedora box doesn't say anything about
fedora except that's the machine name.

Ah, diversity...
