If the "home page" is an index file in the
documentroot, a simple FallbackResource will
suffice, and you don't need to use mod_rewrite at
all.
I believe that only works for physical files, like
/images/myimage.gif, and not for virtual paths set up by
Joomla, like /news/myarticle.html, correct?
I tried just adding it in the VirtualHost, but would
like it to work for specific paths, not for any link
that doesn't exist on the entire site.
Thanks,

If you need the complexity of mod_rewrite, I would start
by using the rewrite log to troubleshoot.
This will allow you to see the requested URI path, and
rewritten path, if applicable.
Yes, here is that relevant output, although I don't understand
how it's failing.
RewriteCond:
input='/news/security-trends/how-ai-is-shaping-the-future-of-linux-administration'
pattern='^/$' => not-matched
RewriteCond:
input='/news/security-trends/how-ai-is-shaping-the-future-of-linux-administration'
pattern='^/(news|features|newsletters)(.*)?$' [NC] => matched
pass through
/news/security-trends/how-ai-is-shaping-the-future-of-linux-administration
add path info postfix: /var/www/vhost/html/news ->
/var/www/vhost/html/news/security-trends/how-ai-is-shaping-the-future-of-linux-administration
Here again is the rewrite rule. The pattern matched correctly, so
it should just result in a 200, but it instead is redirecting. I
believe the problem is with the first rewriterule, as it is the
second one that is causing the redirect. It appears that the first
rewriterule is not enough for it to stop processing rules
altogether. Instead, it continues on to the second one anyway.
# Allow the homepage
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$ [OR]
# Allow specific directories and everything under them
(abbreviated list for simplicity here)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(news|features|newsletters)(/.*)?$
[NC]
# If allowed, stop rewriting
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
# Otherwise, redirect to homepage
RewriteRule ^ https://linuxsecurity.com
[R=301,L]
