Support version check on webOS - read from /var/run/nyx/os_info.json?

[csdougliss]

webOS does not return valid information when running lsb_release -a:

LSB Version:	n/a
Distributor ID:	n/a
Description:	(none)
Release:	n/a
Codename:	n/a

uname -a returns:

Linux LGwebOSTV 5.4.96-266.mlt4tv.1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Nov 25 04:25:18 UTC 2022 aarch64 GNU/Linux

The OS information is contained in:

/var/run/nyx/os_info.json

Contents of /var/run/nyx/os_info.json:

{
    "core_os_kernel_version": "5.4.96-266.mlt4tv.1",
    "core_os_name": "Rockhopper",
    "core_os_release": "7.2.0-47",

}

Can this module be modified to support webOS by checking for LGwebOSTV in uname and then read the information in /var/run/nyx/os_info.json?

Sure, this can be implemented.
But that only make sense after webos support is in. For now it'd be great that at least it doesn't crash (see the other issue)

[csdougliss]

@enen92 webos support (wayland, hardware video decoding) is now merged into master 👍 Is this issue something that could now be looked at for implementation?

There will be a webos check in the next version, untested as I don't have a device. I didn't add upgrading because I am currently unaware of how that is done on webos. But notifications should work if they weren't before.
