Eg. on Void Linux the current solution generates:

root@void-g:~# echo `uname -o | sed 's|/|-|'`-`uname -r | sed 's|/|-|g'`
GNU-Linux-6.6.37_1

Using /etc/os-release might improve things nowadays:

root@void-g:~# lsb_release -d
Description:    Void Linux

root@void-g:~# lsb_release -a
LSB Version:    1.0
Distributor ID: VoidLinux
Description:    Void Linux
Release:        rolling
Codename:       void

root@void-g:~# . /etc/os-release 2>/dev/null && echo "$PRETTY_NAME"
Void Linux

root@void-g:~# cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Void"
ID="void"
PRETTY_NAME="Void Linux"
HOME_URL="https://voidlinux.org/"
DOCUMENTATION_URL="https://docs.voidlinux.org/"
LOGO="void-logo"
ANSI_COLOR="0;38;2;71;128;97"

DISTRIB_ID="void"
