Description

Description

useDetectPlatform (apps/web/hooks/useDetectPlatform.ts) treats any user agent containing "Linux" as desktop Linux. Android browsers include "Linux" in theirs (Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 14; Pixel 8) ...), so on an Android phone or tablet:

• the homepage's main button reads "Download free for Linux" and links to /download/linux-deb;
• the download page's main button has the Linux logo, links to /download/linux-deb, and is captioned "Linux x86_64 • .deb, AppImage, RPM and Arch available".

Tapping either downloads the desktop Linux package to the phone. iPhones and other unrecognised devices get the site's default instead: the macOS app on the homepage, and a generic "Download Cap" on the download page.

Reproduction

1. Open cap.so in Chrome on an Android phone, or in desktop Chrome with device emulation set to an Android device such as a Pixel 8.
2. The homepage's main button reads "Download free for Linux".
3. On cap.so/download, the main button has the Linux logo and links to /download/linux-deb.

Expected

Android isn't treated as desktop Linux, so it isn't offered the Linux package.
