Can (Does) Qubes mitigate GPU fingerprinting tracking?

Yesterday BleepingComputer reported, that “Researchers use GPU fingerprinting to track users online”. Does Qubes presently (or is it possible to) mitigate this practice, by the use of vm’s or otherwise? Just wondering. Thanks

Probably yes, through Whonix: Frequently asked questions (FAQ) | Qubes OS. Actually, AppVMs use a software-only (CPU-based) implementation of OpenGL, so GPU fingerprinting should not really work.
