So this means that the correct Distro information needs to be extracted from

All we have is the user agent. And a user agent like your example:

"Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0"

bears no indication of the distribution, so the user will get the default (which happens to be RPM... but as Marcus noted, changing the default won't help).

Would it be absurd to have a drop list for the user to select the distro?

I think at a point in time we used to have something like "for Ubuntu, Debian..." as text accompanying the DEB downloads and "for Fedora, Red Hat, CentOS, OpenSUSE" for the RPM downloads.

When we detect "Linux", we could display these short instructions on the page, between the drop-downs and the buttons. But only if Marcus feels confident to implement it!
