I use archive.is to read news articles. Just put the URL into it, it’s usually already archived

Lubuntu about 10 years ago, then Mint, openSUSE, and I’ve stuck with Debian for the past eight.

Why “foreign” bad actors? Reddit is a US company and has “former” CIA in high-up positions. The site is heavily astroturfed by US military and intelligence. The prevailing opinions seen on the site are extremely pro-NATO and pro-“Israel”. If foreign actors are trying to influence the site, they’re in the extreme minority.

The site is of course also heavily botted to fake engagement, similar to how twitter is, but i think a lot of the unpleasant people on there are real. The site caters to their hostile, antisocial behavior.

The distros such as Debian, Fedora, Arch, and Ubuntu make all kinds of DEs available to the user to install. Gnome is not in charge of this, and even if they were, the suggestion that they would make other DEs unavailable is childish. You have plenty of choices

I used to think radio stations were run from inside of the broadcasting tower, like how the CN Tower and Space Needle have decks near the top.

It’s not CentOS 3, it’s CentOS with Linux kernel 3.10 (a 2014 kernel). This was supported in RHEL/CentOS through 2017.

Still very dated and a bad idea, of course. And even weirder that it’s on a new machine. I’ve seen tons of stores using Win7 past it’s EOL, but on older hardware.

Inter is great, I’ve been using it (TTF hinted) as my UI font for years and it renders very sharply. I’m on Debian and KDE Plasma

It’s not made by Google though, it’s this guy, Rasmus Andersson

I’ve always used XFS on spinning drives and F2FS on SSDs. No issues, they’re very solid

I’m not sure if it meets all your requirements, but Dolphin has a dual-panel mode if you press F3 and has lots of other configuration options as well
