How to Verify your download with these checksums?

Steps

    Step1:
        1] On Linux, open terminal in the Downloads folder or wherever the ISO is and type sha256sum iso-name.iso
    
        2] On Windows, open powershell in the Downloads folder or wherever the ISO is and type certutil -hashfile iso-name.iso sha256
    
        3] On MacOS, open terminal in the Downloads folder or wherever the ISO is and type shasum -a 256 iso-name.iso
    
    Step2:
        In all the above cases, if the returned value matches with the sha256sum given below, your download is authentic.
        
    Note:
        Please refer to the convention below. sha256sum is the long alphanumeric string, on the left. 
        iso-name refer to the name of the ISO. It should contain the .iso extension. 
        DOB stands for date of build. It has nothing to do with the verification process. 
        It's just there for reference.

SHA256SUMS Below:

       DOB                     		     sha256sum                                             iso-name
    DD/MM/YY
