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 - parse the information from it.

Oh wow. That looks more like a new feature than a bugfix or short cleanup. I'm not sure that it's ok to do it in Python 2.

platform.linux_distribution() is deprecated since Python 3.5 and just has been removed from Python 3.8: see bpo-28167.

I suggest to close this issue as WONTFIX, sorry.
