I'm well aware of It's privacy (telemetry) Issues and security concerns, hence I use Windows 10 for general navigation/usability. I've been using Windows for almost 30 years, since back In the days of the 16-bit Windows 3.1 (early 90s).

My dedicated anonymity lab on the Linux platform that's segregated from the main network, Is a very complex setup- heavily configured In all facets of privacy, anti-fingerprinting, anonymity and (lack of) uniqueness.

I would enjoy a guide about the anti-fingerprinting aspect.

It's way beyond the scope of this post to document everything there Is to know about fingerprinting.

In short and only the one example, machine fingerprinting Is when Information Is collected about a given device, and the details are then sent to the web server. The server then tracks your online activity based on your device- CPU, GPU, HDD/SSD, network card etc.

On their own, they hold very little value but collectively, all hardware components form a profile that's unique to "you", based on their GUIDs. An analogy, Is trying to formulate an Identity on one's family name, given name OR date of birth. Each commodity means very little on It's own. Combine the lot, and you can build a profile from the ground up within 30 minutes.

Back to fingerprinting, because It's stored on the server ( server-side), disabling cookies or applying "do not track" on the browser, will have no effect whatsoever.

my main goal is to make my OS look like another.

For Example I use Trisquel OS which is based upon Ubuntu, but I'd rather disguise myself as looking like Linux Mint, or Mac OS.
