I'm working on a guide focused on securing Linux servers and I'd like to ask you what your essential hardening techniques and tips are? Your feedback would be greatly appreciated

Hardening depends on your threat model and needs of the client. Have the system do what it is supposed to do nothing more or less. I pretty much use this as a guide line depending on client needs.
