I started with a Debian Jessie distribution and have upgraded it from a 3.X kernel to 4.19 now. There are still things that are not fully working (broken packages etc). As I am going through cleanup I have found that currently running lsb_release -a gets me:

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description:    Debian GNU/Linux 8.11 (jessie)
Release:        8.11
Codename:       jessie

Would a proper Debian Kernel upgrade change the output of lsb_release?

  • If you want the *kernel* release: [`uname -r`](https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/726284). – Henke Nov 25 '22 at 15:53

lsb_release doesn’t output the kernel version, so no, upgrading the kernel won’t change its output.
