Nice article.
I personaly use this command in one of my scripts:

(lsb_release -a 2>/dev/null || cat /etc/redhat-release || cat /etc/*-release || cat /etc/issue) | grep -i “centos\|ubuntu\|red *hat\|fedora\|debian\|slackware\|suse\|arch\|deepin\|kubuntu\|alpine” -o | sort -f | uniq -i -u

It’s not getting all the Distributions out there, but enough for my use.

Cheers,
Tony
