I am running Linux Mint 19.3 (tricia) and looking forward to versus 20 shortly. To verify and check, bring up a terminal window, type uname -a and press enter. You will see something like the following.
(base) {your login}@{system name}:~$ uname -a
Linux {your sys name} 5.3.0-62-generic #56~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 24 16:17:03 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
If you don't see 5.3.0-62 or something like that, just check for and update your system updates and reboot. More than likely, you won't be affected if you are on a client machine not directly connected to the Internet no fully exposed to the Internet without a firewall turned on (yes, by default your Linux won't have your firewall turned on, yet you can check (terminal command, gufw), yet you could become a target if so identified by the bad actors.
