Some distros have the os-release located at the /usr/lib/os-release; stating from freedesktop.org.

So adding an if statement pointing /usr/lib/os-release if /etc/os-release is not found.

Bash code in a sh project, and this isn't the best solution.

Should I use the ${variable:-word} or ${variable:=word} style. I think it's more posix complient syntax.

Sorry for being a nood.

I implemented this the way I would do it in 5dd087585c9affbd60b29b2cfd661a01ab63a574.
