Confirmed.
Neofetch reports this correctly btw
(I am using arch linux)
screenfetch:
`/++++++++++++++: DE: GNOME
neofetch:
`/+++ooooooooooooo/` DE: Cinnamon 6.0.4
I think I figured out what is up here.
I did some investigation into how screenfetch gets this string and determines cinnamon.
The first is checking the output of xprop -root for "_MUFFIN"
else if ($1 ~ /^_MUFFIN/) {
de = "Cinnamon"
exit
}
On my system, this is not present.
Then, it moves on to checking the value of XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP:
if [ -n "${XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP}" ]; then
case "${XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP,,}" in
Which, in my case is X-Cinnamon, and it gets detected correctly from there
'x-cinnamon')
DE="Cinnamon"
;;
But the next if statement for the final fallback checks the following:
if [ -n "$DE" ]; then
# classic fallbacks
Which is a check for "$DE is not empty", which it won't be, because the previous check worked.
Actually, I'm pretty sure the contents of this if statement ALWAYS run, because "$DE" actually gets initialized to "Not Present" Some more of the if statements further down seem to have the same problem.
If I change the condition of this if statement to what was on the previous one:
if [[ ${DE} == "Not Present" ]]; then
Then screenfetch reports "DE: Cinnamon 6.0.4" as expected I'm not sure why it's like this, but it seems like an oversight, and a pretty simple fix Effectively, the result of the second attempted test to figure the DE is always discarded, due to some bad condition in the if statement.
