The
/etc/os-release
file exists in most distributions and can be easily read in Bash by sourcing it:The dependency on
lsb-release
tool is unnecessary, and pulls in additional big dependencies likepython3
:# apt show lsb-release | grep Depends Depends: python3:any, distro-info-data
Which if used in a Docker container would make it unnecessarily big.
