Does this hold any water? Does the switch from paravirtualization to HVM/SLAT
degrade privacy by allowing easier hardware fingerprinting?
It holds no water.
There is no such thing as "hardware fingerprinting" - what is usually
done for DRM or w/e is simply reading the model names and serial numbers
of hardware installed - nothing truly "magic".
You can easily change what is displayed in lscpu for example no matter
if you are using HVM or software virt.
In any virt system the graphics device name isn't displayed in the VM
nor your total amount of RAM or serial numbers of drives.
Self proclaimed experts on reddit who mention something provocative but
provide no technical information almost always have no idea what they
are talking about.
