Currently the SalInstance getOSVersion for macOS gives a string Mac OS X 11.6.2, my patch at https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/127921 changes it to something like: > > Macintosh (Intel) Version 11.6.2 (Build 20G314) > > Are people happy with this change? If that resembles what Excel returns then yes. > I will work on a patch for Linux that parses /etc/os-release with a fallback to just the kernel version if that is not available (virtually all desktop systems use systemd now). Please bear in mind that GNU/Linux isn't the only *iX platform supported. In ./configure in 'case "$host_os" in' there is the '_os' variable set to the build platform at least, so that's an indicator of possible variants.
