I don't know who wrote it or where it came from, but I used to used to be
able to:

*set custom_os "Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish"*

in my .slrnrc. Is there any sort of current-day equivalent patch like
this?

Well that is actually my patch, that I wrote with some significant
assistance from Jeroen van Nieuwenhuizen and Thomas Wiegner. It can be
found here:

https://www.andrews-corner.org/downloads/custom_os.patch.gz

It has made my day to see somebody asking for it :)
