hostname & network

        is my hostname transmitted as soon as i am connected ?
        * debian 9 is dedicated to ian murdock and i wonder why they (dev) have
not set (default) it as hostname.

        is a linux-hostname like a windows-code ?
        * a free replacement ?

        do i need a hostname ?
        * debian does not install without & "space" is not accepted.

        what is the hostname the more used on the net ?
        * i did not find a map, a table about that.

        does it provide more anonymity to choose it ?
        * is it not hidden or encrypted ?

        should a 'hostnamechanger' be a good idea as foss-privacy tool ?
        *it could take the last connected on a wifi-spot or the more common, a
doublon of a registered user.

~$ hostname
~$ hostnamectl
~$ hostname --fqd

tia.
