From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm (deliberately) being listed as Windows, because some websites are cancer when they smell your Linux.
I honestly don't remember what happened, but I remember raging at it about 7 years ago, before changing the user agent and since then I've always done it like this.
Oh really? This is the first I've heard of this. I sometimes have to spoof being Chrome though.
Disney had a broken tracker that didnt made the page load when the agent was Linux
I do the same, often set to windows 10 Chrome because websites will silently shittify themselves based on you using Firefox and/or Linux
