I've installed updates and noticed that my Ubuntu 16.04 changed it's recognition to elementary OS. There is elementary everywhere, in grub (no more Ubuntu) In the settings menu:

right corner click

I mean, it's not a huge issue, by I love Ubuntu and would not like to see it anywhere

    Did you install or configure any Elementary OS repositories on your system? You might've tried adding an eOS repo to your system to gain access to something, and it overwrote what was there in Ubuntu. (In essence, you're technically on eOS if this is what you did, and you might have 'reinstall' to return to Ubuntu specifically, depending on exactly what had changed on the system...) – Thomas Ward Apr 16 '18 at 22:47
  • nope, simple apt-get update and upgrade – Artemio Apr 16 '18 at 22:51
  • Include the output of `cat /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list` as an edit to your question. – Thomas Ward Apr 16 '18 at 22:52
