Yes and no. Although IP addresses are a better tracking mechanism than User-Agent strings, each of them makes the other more effective. If you always browse from one IP, and all the other people at that IP use Windows, then this doesn't help you.
But maybe you use open wifi networks, and other Debian users also use those networks. Maybe there are other Debian users behind your NAT. Maybe your friends come over sometimes and they also use Debian. In those cases, standardising the User-Agent string increases the size of your anonymity sets for various activities.
