    Unless you actually want a linux laptop, buy an OS you have used before and install it.

    Good luck on that!

    Linux has its own diagnostics, depends on WHICH version of linux you get.

    as BigE referred:

    to find what Linux operating system (distribution) and version, run this command:

    lsb_release -a

    What version? Is that what you want?

    It is not in the BIOS.

    It varies, but it usually in some file called lsb_release, debian_rellease, in /etc.
