+# 🖥️ Linux Distribution Base Detector (Lua)
+
+A lightweight Lua function to detect the **base family** of your Linux distribution.  
+Supports **Arch**, **Debian**, **Red Hat**, **Alpine**, **Gentoo**, and **Solus** based systems,  
+and falls back to package manager detection if standard files are missing.
+
+---
+
+## 📋 Supported Bases
+
+| Code | Base Name  | Examples                                                                 |
+|------|------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| -1   | Unknown    | Any system that does not match known signatures                          |
+| 0    | Arch       | Arch Linux, Manjaro, EndeavourOS, Garuda                                 |
+| 1    | Debian     | Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pop!\_OS, Elementary OS                      |
+| 2    | Red Hat    | Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Fedora, CentOS, Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux  |
+| 3    | Alpine     | Alpine Linux, PostmarketOS                                               |
+| 4    | Gentoo     | Gentoo Linux, Funtoo                                                      |
+| 5    | Solus      | Solus OS                                                                 |

+
+## 📦 Features
+- **Fast**: Single function call to detect the base.
+- **Reliable**: Checks `/etc/os-release`, distro-specific release files, and package managers.
+- **Portable**: Works on most Unix-like environments where Lua is available.
+- **Extensible**: Easy to add more bases or custom checks.
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Usage
+
+```lua
+-- Paste the detect_base() function here or require it from another file.
+
+local base = detect_base()
+
+if base == 0 then
+    print("Arch-based system detected!")
+elseif base == 1 then
+    print("Debian-based system detected!")
+elseif base == 2 then
+    print("Red Hat-based system detected!")
+elseif base == 3 then
+    print("Alpine-based system detected!")
+elseif base == 4 then
+    print("Gentoo-based system detected!")
+elseif base == 5 then
+    print("Solus-based system detected!")
+else
+    print("Unknown base")
+end
+````
+

+
+## 🔍 How It Works
+
+1. **Primary Check**
+   Reads `/etc/os-release` and matches `ID_LIKE` or `ID` values.
+
+2. **Fallback #1**
+   Looks for distribution-specific release files:
+
+   * `/etc/arch-release`
+   * `/etc/debian_version`
+   * `/etc/redhat-release`
+   * `/etc/alpine-release`
+   * `/etc/gentoo-release`
+   * `/etc/solus-release`
+
+4. **Fallback #3**
+   If none match, returns `-1` (Unknown).
+
+---
+
+## 🛠 Extending the Script
+
+To add a new base:
+
+1. Add `ID_LIKE` / `ID` matching in the `/etc/os-release` check.
+2. Add a release file check in the fallback section.
+3. Add the package manager command check as a last resort.
