It wouldn't be wise to interfere with systems like CoreOS, especially if you're unsure of the consequences.

Turn off the main admin account and install a hardware token such as a YubiKey for root access.

You're looking at options that align closely with what you described. A SELinux-based distro would likely offer strong system protection. On macOS, System Integrity Protection restricts user changes to core system files, preventing actions like deleting critical directories. If SIP is active, it blocks modifications to OS-only components, while disabling it allows admin users broader access. This setup balances security with usability, letting regular users maintain control and admins retain necessary privileges. It also adds an extra layer of defense against unauthorized changes.
