'C# compiled in mono - Detect OS

I am trying to get a C# app running under OSX which is not exactly pain free. To work around some of the issues in the short term, I am thinking of setting up some specific rules when it is running in OSX.

But... What can I use to determine whether the app is running under Windows or OSX?

I know this is an old question but this worked for me:

//using System.IO
public static string GetOS(){
    if (Directory.Exists("C:\\Windows")) {return "Windows";}
    if (Directory.Exists("/System/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app")) {return "macOS";}
    return "Linux";
}
