LinuxQuestions - List of User Agent Icons

I noticed there's ones for OSX, Windows 7, Ubuntu and Android but I was wondering if there's others? I put this here since I wasn't really sure where else really fit the question nor was I sure if there was a page about it already..

Current linux distro list that I know of: Arch, Debian, Gentoo, Slackware, Suse, Ubuntu

Yes, the question comes up regularly. The board's members generally fall into two camps. In one camp people are greatly concerned about those icons, to the extent that a single icon for an OS causes them great anxiety. For example; a single Windows icon is a serious problem and they want different icons for WinXP, Win7 and Win10. The people in the other camp could not care less about those icons.

Thanks, I can't seem to find a list so I guess I'll do some tests. - Test 1

Code:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Slackware Linux x86_64; rv:24.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/46.0.2490.71 Safari/537.36

seems to append if you do it too quickly, so I'll slow it down.

For your tests to have any general usefulness they should include the user agent string in the body of the post, to correlate with the visible icon.

For example, something like this:

User agent for this post:
Code:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; FreeBSD amd64; rv:41.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/41.0

I use the User Agent Switcher add-on for Seamonkey. The only thing in my user agent field is "Slackware Linux." That worked. Other permutations did not. Also, why does anyone need to know my kernel version anyway?

You can also turn the thing off.
