How can it function without a drive?

  The terms you're looking for are Linux Live USB, or netboot. Both often make use of local RAM disks.

  One way is to burn a CD/DVD live image that has your configs added and configure it to mount a mergefs(iirc) on top of the read-only /home so all writes go to /tmp/merge.

    But past that, I don't see how you can do anything since installing programs would require storage.

      Just mount a drive over ssh?

      Most live linux has support for saving stuff to the flash drive. It runs slowly but works.
