Sorry, but of course one can use Sagemath 9.0 on a Linux computer. :-)
Windows machines are difficult to use to run
any software that does not come from Microsoft; it could be that a
particular configuration of security features,
anti-virus software, perhaps even malware, on *your* machine that
causes this particular breakage.

Although that *shouldn't* be such a problem, I think I have seen cases (e.g. due to a bug in the pickle interpreter?) where this can hang, though I can't seem to quickly find a reference to a specific issue.
