Not all Linux distributions have
/etc/lsb-release
file available. If you try to use local runner like https://github.com/nektos/act it fails to perform actions relying on the toolkit. Say setup-python action can not proceed because of/etc/lsb-release
missing. It can not determine version of python distribution to setup for a void os version.There is one more, apparently more widely used, file
/etc/os-release
that contains release version information similar to lsb-release. This pull request adds support for getting os version from/etc/os-release
file.
