I know that the lsb_release command echoes the Ubuntu version I'm currently using. But is there a command that prompts the system flavor (Ubuntu, Lubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu, etc.) I'm in?
Like:

$ the_command
Ubuntu

If I'm using Ubuntu or

$ the_command
Lubuntu

If I'm using Lubuntu?

  • Does lsb_release -i | cut -f2 suffice?
