Considerations for a long-running Raspberry Pi
I've been running a bunch of Pi's for years now, and the biggest problem I've had is the Pi itself dying: 24/7 usage is hard on a small device. I've also found that stable power is essential, and to that end I've always used 5v 3a branded power cubes, plugged into a pure sine wave UPS. Choice of micro-SDHC cards is important and I ended up getting ATP industrial cards (https://www.atpinc.com/products/industrial-sd-cards) - expensive but really long-lived. Finally, using RPi-clone (https://github.com/billw2/rpi-clone) on a regular basis has been a life-saver. I clone to Sandisk Extreme micro-SDHCs and can recover from an outage in minutes.

Boot Pi4 from an SSD, not the MicroSD card
I would normally use the Pi SD-Card copier to duplicate the SD-Card to an SSD but I'm unsure if this is available on the Ubuntu image - you could possibly use this program [Github] if you are not keen on using dd with a running system.

Help needed on setting up Pi to boot from SSD
Then you will need to clone the SD to the SSD, you can use many tools that are available from your desktop computer or you can try with rpi-clone, just connect the SSD with Pi booted from SD, stop any possible service/docker to prevent any copy error and run, adapting device naming but usually will be (check device with dmesg):

Help needed on setting up Pi to boot from SSD..
I used rpi-clone, it was super easy. Whole process took 10 minutes. https://github.com/billw2/rpi-clone
- I wish I wouldβve switched to SSD Boot years ago
- Is it possible to convert an bootable sd to a bootable usb-ssd?

DietPi released a new version 9.1
DietPi is a lightweight Debian based Linux distribution for SBCs and server systems, with the option to install desktop environments, too. It ships as minimal image but allows to install complete and ready-to-use software stacks with a set of console based shell dialogs and scripts.
The source code is hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi

The Orange Pi 5
Before someone starts the usual yadda yadda about the RPi biger community, the OS not having long time support etc. I would repeat one more time: do not rely on board vendor supplied images; this is valid for pretty much all boards. Just go to Armbian or DietPi pages and you'll almost certainly find one or more images that work on your board and forums to discuss about them with very knowledgeable people.

Those projects are well worth a contribution, as they don't have a giant like Broadcom behind them.

OpenWrt One/AP-24.XY: new open source router board by OpenWrt and Banana Pi
> bananapi do a lot of boards but their software story has been a bit poor
This is quite common with other board manufacturers too. I'd rather suggest to ignore completely their cobbled together distros, often also tainted by proprietary modifications, that become unmaintained in a few years, and see if they're among the many supported by Armbian or DietPi.

Looking for a way to remote in to K's of raspberry pi's...
RPi OS = diet pi https://dietpi.com/ - initial config via text file - SDcard burning out partially mitigated as writes log files to ram then flushes to SDcard reducing write cycles

Laptop so slow that even XFCE is laggy. What distro could run better?
You could also try very minimalistic distros like TwisterUI or DietPi which are most known for their use in the RasprebbyPi / SBC computers but which also have editions for desktop / laptop.
What are some alternatives?
TimeShift - System restore tool for Linux. Creates filesystem snapshots using rsync+hardlinks, or BTRFS snapshots. Supports scheduled snapshots, multiple backup levels, and exclude filters. Snapshots can be restored while system is running or from Live CD/USB.
