It's not just Linux users. I'm using Orion on macOS and I got stuck at the "Cloudflare needs to check the security of your connection…" prompt this morning. I didn't even get a Captcha. It just hung there. (And by the way, that prompt makes no sense.)

I've encountered that prompt inside a WebView in an Android app as well. Changing the user agent bypasses it for a certain amount of time.

I'm pretty sure that prompt will hang indefinitely for user agents it doesn't recognize (because bot detection is almost impossible these days).
