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.

If you're building or buying a PC for Linux, you gotta go AMD. Such a better graphics experience than Nvidia, I've never had video drivers break since switching.

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
Soulseek is good. It's a peer-to-peer sharing service, so you can just choose who to download from rather than waiting in a queue. You can find things in FLAC if you want it, or in various lossy qualities.
Were you watching 4K77 and 4K83 with Digital Noise Reduction? The movies are distributed in two versions, one with film grain and the other with DNR.
I'm not familiar with exactly what you mean, does it not require a password to boot that way? I have full-disk encryption on my laptop but not with TPM, grub just prompts me for a password before the kernel boots
What it sounds like you want is only your home folder encrypted, where it decrypts seamlessly upon login. It sounds like you have encrypted OS root, which is more secure but necessarily requires a password before the system gets to the login screen.
Other than reinstalling your system, you do have the option of either making your decryption password shorter, and/or enabling auto-login after boot (if you're the computer's only user), so you'd only have to type one password instead of two.
Nice! What graphics card do you have? AMD generally works well out-of-the-box, but if you have NVidia you may need to install drivers
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
