I'm trying to set up remote access to my Ubuntu PC so I can use dockerized Jupyter notebooks from my older Windows 11 laptop. My ISP doesn't provide static public IP addresses, making this a bit tricky. I have a Mullvad subscription and a Digital Ocean droplet to work with. What are some effective, low-latency, and budget-friendly methods to achieve remote access to my PC, preferably through SSH or any other software?

You might want to look into a DDNS service. There are free ones available that give you a domain name pointing to your IP. Just remember that if your public IP changes frequently, you'll still face some connectivity issues unless you set it up correctly.
Have you considered using a VPN solution like Tailscale? It allows for SSH connections without needing a static public IP. You could also set a static private IP to avoid changes on your local network. Give it a shot!
Thanks, I'll try that out now!
That was the first thing I tried (with noip.com), but it still requires a public IP connection, which is an issue when it keeps changing. Is there something I'm missing?
