Reply to comment by BlackWinnerYoshi in Linux devices have a unique identifier called machine-id. Here is how to change it. by Rambler
Good to know. I'm planning to switch over to Artix anyway. But for now I'm going to apply the suggested fix.

Furthermore, I just tested Tails and they DO change the machine-id after every reboot. I'm downloading Whonix right now as well to test, but I've got shit rural internet so that'll take some time.
I'll update the blog with my finding when I do.
The fact Tails randomizes it after each reboot should be enough to hint that it's likely a good idea to not have any identifying ID tied to your system...

That's true. I've set a cronjob to change it every 2hours. Even more reasons to finally move to Artix.
