That's not a SAK, you can disable it with setxkbmap. A SAK is on purpose impossible to disable, and it exists on Linux: Alt+SysRq+K.

Unfortunately it doesn't take any display server into consideration, both X11 and Wayland will just get killed.

There are many a ways to disable CTRL+ALT+DEL on windows too, from registry tricks to group policy options. Overall, SAK seems to be a relic of the past that should be kept far away from any security consideration.

There shouldn't be any non-privileged ways to disable ctrl-alt-del.
