From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This, but I'd use separate browsers to keep seperate digital fingerprints. Otherwise your ad trackers would know it's the exact same person going to site a directly and site b indirectly.
Also worth noting that Facebook has a back door on its mobile app, that keep listening on some port. When you use certain apps with meta code ( could be a newspaper that monetizes with Facebook ads ) or websites with meta code ( same "newspaper"), those apps/websites send your ad tracker id directly to Facebook app through that port. This de-anonimizes the shit out of your "anonymous" ad IDs. Other techniques rely on lots of data points and some degree of guessing, but this ways it's mercilessly effective and accurate.
