Comment (by arthuredelstein):

 Yes, as far as I know, the manual is currently the identical for all
 platforms. I see two possible alternative solutions:
 1. Add a patch to torbutton to send the user to the appropriate link for a
 given platform: `https://tb-manual.torproject.org/${platform}/en-US`. (I
 don't think tb-manual.torproject.org should be responsible for detecting
 the Tor Browser platform.)
 2. Change the manual so there is a single version for all platforms on
 each locale: `https://tb-manual.torproject.org/en-US`

 Both of these options are easy to implement. The disadvantage I see for
 (1) is complexity. Do we really need a separate manual for each platform?
 And if we do have a separate manual for each platform, are we going to
 need separate screenshot images for each platform?

 I guess the main difference in usage Tor Browser platforms has to do with
 installation and startup. Right now, there isn't such a page, but if there
 were, it could simply have a section for each platform.
