    the CPU architecture for 32-bit x86 Linux will now be reported as x86_64

    Why? Like I get that 32 bit is basically nonexistent at this point, but does this really benefit anyone to lie about the architecture? At least on linux you’re generally getting your software from a package manager and not some exe from the internet.

      This is the user agent reported to websites. It increases compatibility with certain websites apparently.
