TOR browser User Agent in Linux increases fingerprinting (self.linux)

I usually use Tor Browser to scan files online for viruses, which I then send to Windows users (I use Linux) if they are clean.

Lately, I've noticed that the User Agent in TOR is showing up as Linux, when it used to show up as Windows.

Is this a problem with my system or a change made by the TOR team? The fact that Linux has far fewer users increases fingerprinting.

I'm a complete noob in the games department. Btw, I see that you don't use Arch.

Already posted here in Lemmy. State of Nova Launcher (August 9, 2024)

I'm Kevin Barry, the original creator and primary developer of Nova Launcher. (...) This week Branch parted ways with some employees, including people involved with Nova. (...) However, I've always been the lead and primary contributor to Nova Launcher and that hasn't changed. I will continue to control the direction and development of Nova Launcher.

In my experience, the Flatpak variant of Firefox on Linux is the swiftest among Firefox-based browsers.
