With the size of modern linux kernels, I think 1GiB for a /boot partition is the absolute minimum I would go for a current full-sized distributuon. You’ll run into these out-of-space issues on updates all the time otherwise.

I’ve used an old, out-of-support phone as a permanently plugged-in homeassistant control panel. Not quite self-hosting as in phone-server, but a fun easy project and a great way to keep an old device in use.
The bang syntax makes duckduckgo easily the best search engine - it’s a shortcut to everything, the perfect gateway to the internet.
Can you give us the full output of the following commands?
ip addr
sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6
It’s kind of a dead square, since it’s hard to be arch-based without being pacman-based, and I figured “well, it still technically fits” haha 🤷♀️
“alpine as arch” is the kind of radical anarchy that deserves its own alignment chart, so here’s the best I could do on my phone.
The ups has data output to my firewall/router via usb, which the baremetal servers all connect to via apcupsd. When the ups loses or regains AC power, it broadcasts a message to all of them and they’re each scripted to act accordingly: laptops run on their own batteries, vms migrate over to laptops, non-vital hardware shuts down, etc.
Some laptop battery firmware allows you to force discharge even when connected to AC, and if your laptop can use the tlp recalibrate
or tlp discharge
commands then yours is supported.
I use this to power my thinkpad servers off of their own batteries during a power outage, to reduce load on my UPS. Great feature.
I switched a workstation to Secureblue for the very specific security priorities targeted by that project, but I think for the majority of users, the main reason for not switching to atomic is one you mentioned: why fix what isn’t broken? The main selling point promoted to potential new users seems to be that updates don’t break anything, but I can’t remember a single time since Debian Sarge that an update broke anything for me, and I actually find the rpm-ostree package layering and updating process to be far more of a headache than otherwise.
Unless it’s prepackaged like a steam deck, moving from the traditional way of doing things to atomic is a major change. Like any major change, people need a good reason to make it, and I think right now the only compelling ones are either hyper-specific (switching to okd and needing to build it on coreos, wanting to move to a specific atomic project, etc.), or just general curiosity.
That’s why you can adjust swappiness, or designate a different high-endurance storage device for it.
Forgejo (Gitea fork used by codeberg.org) is a lightweight self-hostable option, and has a web-ui-based file editor. It’s got an official docker image, and it’s packaged for freebsd, as well, which makes it very easy to deploy and maintain either containerized or on a server.
