OS detection as wrong as in neofetch

[RealFX-Code]

Description

The hyfetch OS detection is a bit off, regular ubuntu running KDE gets picked up as Kubuntu, while I'm not running kubuntu.

• [X] Does this issue still occur in the master branch? (Required if issue)

Hyfetch version

┌[realfx@XXXXXXXXXXXXXX]-(~)
└> hyfetch -V
Version is 1.4.2

Config file (output for hyfetch --debug

none
GlobalConfig(color_mode='rgb', override_distro=None, debug=True, is_light=False)
{...}

and the ascii art is different on Kubuntu rather on Ubuntu, so It's unreadable to see what distro i'm using from the logo, as you can't see the logo at all.

After some digging, it appears that the method to detect ubuntu flavors is kind of simple in neofetch: If a specific DE is used, then it detects the system as the specific flavor.

However, do you know if there is anything different between Kubuntu and regular Ubuntu with KDE that we can use to detect?

I’m pretty sure that the command: lsb_release -d

will show what flavour of ubuntu you’re running.

and AFAIK there’s no deference between ubuntu and kubuntu.

Can you show me the output of lsd_release -d?

Okay, that makes sense.

Sure! For me running ubuntu 22.04.01 its:

┌[realfx☮Laptop2]-(~)
└> lsb_release -d
Description:    Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS

Sorry for the long delay. Both the lsb_release and os-release information on kubuntu are the same as regular ubuntu.

Here are the release information on a Kubuntu live usb:

However, it is possible to detect kubuntu with uname -n though, maybe I can change it to use uname instead of the DE environment to detect ubuntu flavors, but I will have to test more ubuntu flavors to make sure that all of them label uname info in the same way.

Using uname -n would not work at all as anyone can change their hostname.

oops just realized that uname -n is the hostname 🤦🏼‍♀️ Yea then it's really impossible to identify Kubuntu from regular ubuntu with KDE.

I have an idea on how we could make this work.

Check if a package like kubuntu-desktop or ubuntu-unity-desktop is installed. If so, display the OS as such.
