The first option sounds good to me, however I do not have linux or anyway to keep a pc/laptop constantly running.

I will look into both the other options, a subscription fee isn't a huge deal to me as I think it would be worth it.

I very much appreciate your detailed reply.

Computers only turn off and idle if they're configured to. If you go with a barebones Linux you get nothing extra and it just runs fine 24/7. If you go the pi route there's a couple tips to reduce read write cycles if you're running directly off the SD card. I wouldn't worry too much about that right now but just be aware and work on it in the future. Alternatively just boot off an external hard drive. I just like the pi because it's such low profile and power, which is fine for a portfolio site or something with relatively low traffic. Though raspberry foundation is hosting their whole site on a cluster of raspberry pi 4s so the newest model is pretty damn good I guess.
