Send current OS

Now it's Unknown OS

Great! Unity has SystemInfo.operatingSystem. Should its output be formatted before sent to WakaTime? For example, "Windows 7 (6.1.7601) 64bit"...

1. I need a list of operating systems that are in use in Wakatime. Rider and VsCode use Windows, we cant break this by adding details. Or maybe we should?
2. I found only 2 ways to monitor OSs - in Timeless android app and embedded section, both are not quite convenient for testing

The User Agent API Endpoint is a good way to see how the user agent string sent from plugins (aka value) is translated into an operating system (aka os). The three operating systems supported on WakaTime dashboards are Mac, Windows, and Linux. Here's the Python code used on the server to translate user agent value string into an os:

class UserAgent(Model):
    id = db.Column(UUID(), primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4)
    user_id = db.Column(UUID(), db.ForeignKey('user.id'), nullable=False)
    value = db.Column(db.String(600), nullable=False)
    last_seen = db.Column(db.DateTime())
    created_at = db.Column(db.DateTime(), nullable=False, default=datetime.utcnow)
    __table_args__ = (
        db.UniqueConstraint('user_id', 'value'),
    )

    @property
    def os(self):
        os = None
        try:
            ua = self.value.lower()
            if 'darwin' in ua or 'macintosh' in ua:
                os = 'Mac'
            elif 'windows' in ua:
                os = 'Windows'
            elif 'linux' in ua or 'bsd' in ua or 'unix' in ua:
                os = 'Linux'
        except:
            pass
        return os
