In some linux distributions, the information about the distribution is incorrectly determined when the linux_distribution() method is called from the platform class. Since the information file os-release becomes a certain standard, I propose first of all to check its availability and if it is in the system, then parse the information from it. I apply the patch. It will work well with version 2.7.
