How can I tell if I am running a 64 bit or 32 bit operating system in zorin?

If you want to check how many bits is the OS you are running open terminal and run
Code:
uname -m


- x86_64 for 64bits
- i686 for 32 bits kernel


If you want to check if your cpu can handle 64bit, open terminal and run

Code:
sudo lshw -C Processor | grep width
