I am curious if my /etc/os-release is odd:
# VERSION="20160913" ID=opensuse ID_LIKE="suse" VERSION_ID="20160913" PRETTY_NAME="openSUSE Tumbleweed" ANSI_COLOR="0;32" CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:opensuse:tumbleweed:20160913" BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.opensuse.org" HOME_URL="https://www.opensuse.org/"
Should the VERSION line be commented as shown above? Or has something odd happened to my file?
That's correct...
VERSION is added merely for 'your reference' but not used to interpret by tools (hence commented)
I'm assuming though this commented field has been causing GRUB menus (e.g. on ARM) to display "openSUSE Tumbleweed , "? Note the space before the comma for lack of version.
I thought that ARM switched to extlinux?
No. Matwey implemented extlinux support, but shortly after the YaST team announced they would only support GRUB2, so Alex implemented UEFI support in U-Boot and we started adopting GRUB2 wherever it has been tested to work. https://events.opensuse.org/conference/oSC16/program/proposal/946 Also there have always been AArch64 platforms with native UEFI firmware (AppliedMicro, AMD, Cavium, HiKey, OVMF), also a few ARMv7.
