Static Property Read Type As String
Return the current desktop environment name.
Here a list of possible return values:
-
KDE
-
GNOME

MATE

If the
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP environment variable is defined, the first element of its contents is returned.
Otherwise several heuristics are used for detecting the current desktop: for example, checking the
KDE_FULL_SESSION
environment variable for KDE desktops, checking the
GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID environmental variable for Gnome desktops, and so on.
