Linux & Android (open) support randomising your Mac address to avoid device finger printing.

Know how to do this on Android?

Used to be:

go to Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi.

Find the wireless connection you want to configure and tap the gear icon next to it.

Go to Advanced > Privacy and select Use Randomized MAC.

I've been running grapheneOS for a few years and it default on.
