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.
Using TOR Browser, my user agent is:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:128.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/128.0
... so I confirm that Windows is not spoofed now, if ever it were.

Trump's Former Pick To Destroy The Department Of Education Loves His New One
What a surprise. Trump's former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, who did all she could to destroy the department the last time he was in office, loves the new unqualified pick of Linda McMahon.Heather (Crooks and Liars)
Demain dès l'aube,
À l'heure ou blanchit la campagne, /
Je m'appliquerai. Je vais écrire la liste de toutes les choses, c'est
possible en faisant attention, elles ne sont pas infinies. Simplement,
il ne faut pas en oublier. J'y mettrai les très grandes choses, qui ne
rentreraient pas sinon, du fait de leur grande taille, et je mettrai leur
nom. Ainsi elles pourront entrer.

Por las noches, las piernas me duelen como si me estuviesen volviendo a crecer.
De hecho, están creciendo. De no ser por la intervención quirúrgica me hubiese quedado en silla de ruedas. No deja de ser una cruel ironía para quien ha corrido nueve maratones.
No me quejo. El dolor lumbar es junto con el del parto, una de las peores torturas que nos inflige la naturaleza. Quizás estoy volviendo a nacer y lloro por dentro, porque por fuera no puedo dejar de sonreír.
Soy feliz. Puedo andar.

Does it increase fingerprinting? I imagine there might be some non-user-agent way to determine the OS. Like with image handling or whatever.
It's probably more unique and suspicious for a linux browser to pretend to be Windows than a Linux system disclosing itself as Linux.
I'd expect TOR browser to mitigate this. Canvas2D is disabled for instance and system fonts aren't exposed.
Most other things could be mitigated by making every platform use the same code paths for e.g. font rendering. It should be pretty damn hard to determine which OS it is when the userspace is the same. I don't know whether TOR browser currently does this though.
