Interface eth0 not configured

I'm trying to setup a static ip address. Here's my /etc/network/interfaces:

# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# primary network interfaces
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.1.88
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.1.0
        broadcast 192.168.1.255
        gateway 192.168.1.1
        dns-nameservers 127.0.1.1

Apparently, my machine does not have eth0 at all. I've looked around and everyone says to configure the above file with eth0. Are there any other ways to set a static ip address using these devices?

Yes. Just replace eth0 with one of the other interfaces.

For example:

auto eno1
iface eno1 inet static
        address 192.168.1.88
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.1.0
        broadcast 192.168.1.255
        gateway 192.168.1.1
        dns-nameservers 127.0.1.1
