[solved] Most efficient way to check kernel version of devices? (lemmy.world)

I'm considering using PostmarketOS on a tablet for a project. I need kernel greater than x.y.z (so far I know >3.0.1 works, <2.6.32 does not). However it's kinda difficult to find it on the wiki. Some devices specify kernel version (android a.b.c, kernel e.f.g), some only the android version (android a.b.c) and some neither.

I found that android version should correspond to a kernel version (https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/51651/which-android-runs-which-linux-kernel). But how do I check (in the least time consuming way) the kernel version of the devices that don't mention anything?

Thanks.
