Answer 1

To detect operating system using JavaScript it is better to use navigator.userAgent instead of navigator.appVersion

{
  var OSName = "Unknown OS";
  if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Win") != -1) OSName = "Windows";
  if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Mac") != -1) OSName = "Macintosh";
  if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Linux") != -1) OSName = "Linux";
  if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Android") != -1) OSName = "Android";
  if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("like Mac") != -1) OSName = "iOS";
  console.log('Your OS: ' + OSName);
}
