Slackware was my first real distro (many moons ago), glad to see people still enjoy it.

I have this exact problem.

Edit: nvm, found the solution

I’ve been using Void Linux for my home server for a few years now. It uses runit instead of OpenRC, and I haven’t had any problems with it. I would recommend the glibc version over the musl version.

Got 1 VM using KVM (Home Assistant), about a dozen docker containers, and a couple of services running on their own.

I feel like that is what snaps are for, long running server applications.

I have liked onedev so far.
