By default, the name of the current operating system is returned.
On Linux, it reads the pretty name from /etc/os-release when available (e.g., 'Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS', 'Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)'). When a custom release is provided, it falls back to 'Linux .
You can optionally supply a custom os.platform() and os.release()`.
