Description
Adding distribution name into enum is not ok, but adding Linux is essential. I talk about `currentType()` method and OSType enum. I need to find out OS type (not distribution) as it's name.
Missing Linux as a OS type stops me from using QOperatingSystemVersion.
Also same is true to Unix and QNX operating systems.
Sample use case
determining desktop/mobile platform for using in file selector:
QQmlApplicationEngine engine;
QQmlFileSelector * selector = QQmlFileSelector::get(&engine);
QOperatingSystemVersion::OSType os = QOperatingSystemVersion::currentType();
switch (os) {
case QOperatingSystemVersion::OSType::Android:
case QOperatingSystemVersion::OSType::IOS:
selector->setExtraSelectors(QStringList({"mobile"}));
break;
case QOperatingSystemVersion::OSType::Windows:
case QOperatingSystemVersion::OSType::MacOS:
//how detect Linux as other desktop OS? <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ??
selector->setExtraSelectors(QStringList({"desktop"}));
break;
}
