Lock down Linux for the workplace
(kbin.social)
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.

I've found the gold standard to be the NCSC Guidelines. This covers everything around proper deployment of end user devices in an organization. https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/collection/device-security-guidance
They have clamp down configurations for Windows and Ubuntu, plus others. This is the Ubuntu page, but there'll be lots of cross over to other distros https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/collection/device-security-guidance/platform-guides/ubuntu-lts
Their security configuration packs are hosted on GitHub so you can vet them first if you want https://github.com/ukncsc/Device-Security-Guidance-Configuration-Packs
