I try to look for /etc/*releas* file, but there is none exist

The asterisk is a wildcard character - as per https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Filename-Expansion.html:

Quote:

Bash scans each word for the characters ‘*’, ‘?’, and ‘[’. If one of these characters appears, and is not quoted, then the word is regarded as a pattern, and replaced with an alphabetically sorted list of filenames matching the pattern (see Pattern Matching).

I am using Endeavouros linux.
