Is there a command to explicit the Ubuntu flavour?

Question

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? – Runium May 09 '16 at 12:28 — Runium, May 09 '16 at 12:28
