I wish I could see what version of Linux was originally installed. This machine was first set up with this install years ago and kept up to date. I have absolutely no idea what versions of any of the software originally was

@Miakoda you can determine if you are on a rolling release or a version upgrade system...

@Miakoda or go through the packet repository folder looking for old versions (if you did not purge them for space)

@Miakoda look for cached versions of the bootloader (which is installed first for sure) - so you can correlate the release date with the kernal version aroundish...

@Miakoda i mean the folder downloaded packages are stored in when you update (like /var/cache/pacman/pkg/) - look there for oldest versions so you can estimate the version by the release dates (if not rolling release)
