OK, let me revert that change and avoid checks for Linux .

I encountered the same issue when running in Travis CI with docker service. At first I upgraded to 4.5.0 and everything was working okay then since about Friday I started seeing the Unable to find a free port exception. I then tried both 4.3.0 and 4.5.2 but saw the same issue.

I was able to work around this issue by adding the environment variable SE_DOCKER as true to my CI and running with version 4.5.2 which is expecting that env var in this commit. After that everything started working as before.

Same issue on v4.5.1 and v4.5.2. All works fine on v4.5.0. Using on Linux (Ubuntu). Potentially related to this change: https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/pull/11085/files#diff-8b05a1bfd55e4e3b96646952fb16845057f9b8abeab5c2bd986ca7fa2010cd1bR108
