I won't mention the OS I love but tend to avoid linux almost completely
these days since the systemd invasion on binary distros but also because
modern Windows has more default kernel hardening features than upstream
Linux (binary packaged kernels). Hardened Gentoo is among the best. I am
sorry to hear this? I hope it will resolve itself more satisfactorily,
eventually.

Good luck and regards, Kc
