Advice from Canonical was to add these environment variables in issues reported from Linux.

DESKTOP_SESSION
XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP

Example values:

DESKTOP_SESSION=ubuntu
XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP=ubuntu
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=ubuntu:GNOME

Probably XDG_SESSION_TYPE should be reported too, since some issues can be related to running on Wayland with XWayland
