Best way to detect the system is CoreElec in Kodi addon

General
1

What’s the best/most reliable way, in a Kodi Python addon, to detect it’s running under CoreELEC?

I know xbmc.getCondVisibility('system.platform.linux') - but that’s too generic. Is there a good way to detect CE more explicitly?

Thanks for any help!

Reading file /etc/os-release ?

Thank you

I think I might actually go with:
if xbmc.getCondVisibility('System.HasAddon(service.coreelec.settings)'):

…as that seems to work and saves opening a file!

Yes, I use that too from long time. Works perfectly
