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.

The idea with avoiding fingerprinting is to look like whatever the biggest group of users looks like, because that's who you share the fingerprint with. If you use an uncommon value for something, you make fingerprinting easier.
That's one of the reasons why for example Vivaldi on Linux sets its user agent to match the latest version Chrome on Windows.
