Linux mint instructions for apt are outdated

Type of issue

Information is incorrect

Description

in this step: echo \ "deb [arch="$(dpkg --print-architecture)" signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \ "$(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME")" stable" | \ sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

you write: If you use an Ubuntu derivative distro, such as Linux Mint, you may need to use UBUNTU_CODENAME instead of VERSION_CODENAME.

The information is under the /etc/os-release file, under UBUNTU_CODENAME, but this file is not sourced by default and so this command will fail for users that just follow the step-by-step instructions.

Location

https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/

Suggestion

You should add source /etc/os-release somewhere in that command.
