Detect current running OS including version and arch, if possible. No dependencies. All code < 300 lines.
This is just a minimal, simple and incomplete package to detect the following:
navigator.deviceMemory is available or undefinedUses mainly navigator.platform and navigator.userAgent as second guess for detection.
No legacy support yet, no support for OS-minorites yet. Feel free to contribute!
Yes we all know this is the better option. However, this package intends to detect the OS and not the browser, so feature detection won't help that much.
There are more distinct ways of detecting the OS based on certain ways of feature implementation and results but that won't be covered by this package (yet).
