Right, the suggestion doesn’t work on the Linux RNG, it was more targeting embedded devices.

Right, this part does work on Linux - use the OS RNG but also use mouse movements or whatever and check that you get enough entropy there. Maybe check for a TPM and pull bits from that, etc. Probably at least one source you can either fetch pre-whitening or you can access a success/fail result because the device checks for you.
