If you like such government distros, you may like the one from the US too
The <strong>Lightweight Portable Security distribution</strong> was created by the Software Protection Initiative under the direction of the Air Force Research Laboratory and the U.S. Department Of Defense.
Yes, the DoD's lack of hardware management is bizarre. If I could I would re-image them all with TENS - which is so lightweight I can run it on an ancient Atom netbook - and put them on NIPR somewhere the Joeys could access them.
Your browser will complain about the cert because it's issued by the US Department of Defense and the CA is unlikely to be in your trusted CA list.

That train left the station around 2010/11.

You need to read up on Trusted End Node Security and put it to work; it should do what you need.
In internet explorer you did Tool->Internet Options -> Advanced -> Reset?
are you using VPN or in foreign country or something? if you can't even get there via IP, i don't know what to tell you. You need to try via different internet provider (use wifi somewhere else, hotspot to your phone, etc). Or boot a Live CD like https://www.spi.dod.mil/lipose.htm to rule out your Operating System.
The airforce already makes a linux distro.

Also how much have you used Linux that you don't know that Adobe products on Linux are poor performing, insecure, and outdated?
You would need to have VirtualBox or Docker with a Windows OS, which you'll need commercial licensing for.
So good luck with your poorly developed idea on why the Army is so attached to Microsoft Office and Adobe, because it's not going to pan out.
I would try the location preferences out of keychain (I don't know if that's the correct term, but you should see entries in keychain with the web address for OWA, the portal, etc). Also, make sure the root certificates are the correct ones. Militarycac.com has some guides, but I've had to periodically start from scratch. Every time apple pushes major software updates it seems to screw with using a CAC to access gov websites.
Another alternative is to go to the Portal Log in page and click on the TENS - An Alternative to Access CAC-Restricted Sites link and create a boot disk/USB with the Linux distro they have in there. You can use that disk to boot a clean OS that allows you to access the portal and OWA from any machine.
Oddly enough, I have less trouble accessing OWA/Portal with a CAC reader attached to my Chromebook than with my Mac. I'm not really sure why.
With a bit more tech know-how, try using Lightweight portable security. Having already acquired my OWA address, I didn't have any problems with my certs as they were already installed. It's has worked every time I've gone to use it.
The Air Force will only monitor your use while you visit their site (any DOD site for that matter). This is why you see a disclaimer banner. If you're that worried about it, download Lightweight Portable Security, it's a live-cd system that you can install on a USB device. It was developed by the DOD as a secure means to access DOD sites and it does not install anything on your system; it runs off the USB device upon boot.
