Check out using ddns. It’s not perfect, but works. There are updater containers you can run. NoIP used to have freebie domains, I bought a domain a while back, then switched to cloudflare for convenience despite it being cloudflare (you can leave tell them not to use their proxy for individual sub-domains). Bonus points for using something like nginx proxy manager or cert-manager to handle acme LetsEncrypt certs, because unencrypted http is BAD.

Personally, my “I’m too lazy to build this from the ground up” daily driver is cachyos now…used to be Manjaro or Garuda, but I feel like cachy does the same stuff with less bloat.

When I feel picky and want to spend the time, void is my goto. Xbps is a fantastic package manager. Nix is worth running as a daily driver once (although guix sounds REAL interesting), but it’s not for folks who want to avoid a steep learning curve. If you want something more gentoo-flavored, sabayon is gentoo for the lazy (and it bundles a binary package manager for those who are impatient xD ).

I know one guy who daily drove tinycore for a while. Same with puppy Linux. I couldn’t get into beyond the occasional live boot.

systemd users hate this one trick!
