I just wanted to add that you can run gui applications through ssh with x11 forwarding, options -X or -Y (untrusted/trusted but at least in Debian back in the day they behaved the same). So if you wanted a gui file manager you run it in the ssh session on the remote server, sudo if you need but NEVER logged as root, and the window will pop on your local DE instead of having to run an entire desktop on each server
I agree this is propaganda but it can also be true, in fact there are many other sources telling more or less the same worldwide.
A lot of propaganda is true, just half the truth, telling the good things of this side and bad things of the other. I would say there’s no news just propaganda, everyone putting out a piece of information (be it state or private owned media, independent sources, a blog, a post or a stream on social media…) does it with the intention of getting people to think a certain way.
