Curiosity: I know websites and ISPs can determine what browser and OS you're using but do they know which flavor of that OS like Lubuntu, Kubuntu?

I ask because the process to activate my modem went through without a hitch in Ubuntu but didn't work in Bodhi Linux. It could have been because I wasn't using Firefox in Bodhi.

I'm using Bodhi Linux and my ISP is Comcast Xfinity by the way.latest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=wt8nhbat6Sg:iYZjvts3_xw:F7zBnMy latest?i=wt8nhbat6Sg:iYZjvts3_xw:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=wt8nhbat6Sg:iYZjvts3_xw:gIN9vFwwt8nhbat6Sg
