How do I find out which version of Electrum I have?

Hi guys, I hope this is the right subdread.

I downloaded Tails 4.5, and I'd like to know which version of Electrum comes with it. I assume it's the latest (3.3.8, I believe?), but I just want to be 100% sure because, as I'm sure you know, versions from last year are not secure.

As an aside, how would I have found this out in Tails without asking? As it comes pre-installed I don't think I can find the file to check.

Cheers, hope you're all staying safe and healthy.

You should download your copy of electrum, and just steer clear of using TAILS OS built in one, save it onto your persistence folder. I personally never hit the electrum option on TAILS, as well as not use their broken pgp encryption software that comes out of the box with TAILS, download gpg4usb, it's universal and versitile, and you can save it on your persistence and actually do more options with importing and exporting private and public keys, need more help on both those just email me at [email protected]
