You don’t seem to understand the concept of a decentralized blockchain.
It’s a consensus protocol that happens to be carried out on digital platforms, it is not dependent on them. You could technically run bitcoin on paper by hand if you were capable of solving elliptic curves in your head
My point is, the whole network must be in consensus. If there was some root level vulnerability for a computer, it wouldn’t affect blockchain consensus unless it were exploited on every node in the whole network, which are running different operating systems, different hardwares, even different softwares. There’s just no feasible way to take down an at scale decentralized consensus protocol like Bitcoins. It doesn’t matter if some Zero Day for Linux is discovered
Inject your science juice and get your heckin math coins.
You have no idea what is in the shot.
Bitcoin, for example, is open source. If you are literate in the language, you can read it for yourself and see how it works.
Otherwise, read the white paper.
You are talking about a computer. Blockchains represent many decentralized computers with more compute power than the world’s largest supercomputer.
What else needs to be known is the code. Understand that and you understand how it works. Start with the Bitcoin white paper.
You realize Bitcoin is open source right? Nothing is obscured
