ScreenFetch support for SharkLinux
Awesome project! Id love to see SharkLinux included as a natively supported OS, how would that be achieved?
if desired, further info on SharkLinux can be found at;

I'm not sure why it even exists, just fork of 'debian unstable', it doesn't even use Wayland by default. It's not 'bleeding edge', bleeding edge is Gentoo experimental.
@Shark-Linux Write something like screenfetch in C or dash, I wrote script in dash, but it works only for gentoo, 40 times smaller than screenfetch.
So SharkLinux identifies itself as Ubuntu. I'm not sure if we should add a separate detection then.
Just going by the official recommendation from Canonical re: derivatives
- File /etc/lsb-release (from package base-files) contains name of distro, which is used by some tools (for example network configuration tools) to identify how to handle files. Also the content of this file (AFAIK) is displayed in console login. Should the contents of this file (i.e. base-files package) be replaced in derivative distro?
This is a tricky one, since the file is used both to tell the user the name of the distribution and by programs to identify it. The former should change, but not the latter. Perhaps changing DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION but not DISTRIB_ID is the right thing to do.
Granted the URLs need updating. Been a busy jump being added to DistroWatch and getting new host for the software repo. What do you suggest?
As a comparison Mint identifies itself as "Linux Mint" despite being almost exactly the same distro:
A check of peppermint had similar output so ID_LiKE and UBUNTU_CODENAME is all it needs. Good to know. Base file deb has some edits in store. I'll post back in short while. I have an ISO build on the agenda so the updates should be ready in a short while
