I would love to find a way to whitelist which apps can access the network, but I haven't found a way for that yet

Ironically this is very easy on W10 and OSX. But you can do it on Linux with AppArmor.

Wait how is this easy on macOS? Do you mean with Little Snitch? Or is there something built into the OS?

I don't suppose you have any pointers on how to make that a reality in Ubuntu/Debian? I too would be very interested in being able to configure whitelist only network connections.

The linux desktop security model is severely broken [1]. Just use Qubes if you want to control access to resources without losing your mind.
