I hope I'm on-track / on-topic with this response.
In my own work,  for reference and other reasons,  I've got a
home-grown Linux that has no specific personality.   Actually,
it has some,  but I've tried to shove more and more of that into a
single config file  (a sourceable shell environment var file).
For mainframe Linux,  that file is on a CMS minidisk.

On z/VM,
the "personality" can easily key-off the VMID.
For PC class Linux,  it often keys-off the MAC address
of whatever NIC you have in place.
