    Description

      As per the following, newer kernels (5.15+) have recalibrated the entropy levels from 0-4096 to 0-256. Hence, everything is throwing a warning:

      Warning: Available entropy is low. As a result, use of the UUIDField, SSL, or any other features that require
      RNG might not work properly. To check for the amount of available entropy, use 'cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail'.
      

      Here's where I found out about this change:
      https://askubuntu.com/questions/1427470/entropy-is-stuck-at-256-after-upgrading-to-kernel-5-15-0-47

      We might need to intelligently report the low entropy (based on kernel version).
