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.

    Yes, Tor recently made a change to that. This does increase fingerprinting but not by much. A lot of Tor users are using Linux rather than Windows.
