The function platform.platform() does not report detailed Linux platform information (Ubuntu, Debain, CentOS, etc). This information is reported in Python 3.7 and earlier.

This is the result of removal of platform.linux_distribution() in #28167. Which was deprecated since 3.5. As far as I understand, suggested replacement is distro package on pypi (https://pypi.org/project/distro/).
