I have been given a computer with Arch linux (I am used to Ubuntu). I want to know which desktop environment is installed (if any).I cannot tell based on the firefox window I am looking at.My ultimate goal would be to install Gnome. Is it possible to have two desktop environments (new at this).
Which Desktop Environment do I have?
arch linux;gnome;desktop environment
You can try to print some env variable. At least gnome fill the X environment variable XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP correctly:$ echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
