I did the whole distro chooser quiz but didnt help much.

Heres the things id like to hit

  • avoid systemd
  • stable
  • Wayland support
  • Minimal packages
  • no immutable (seems like to much of a pain)
  • full disk encryption but thats pretty standard nowdays.

Was going to go with devuan but the debian flavours dont have a stable with wayland yet. I was considering going with a testing or unstable build but would like to avoid headaches on a daily driver. Is testing/unstable got wayland and are they reliable enough? If so what do I go with.

Also hows the hardware comparability with framework i assume it wont be too bad to get set up.

Have you looked at MX Linux? I think it doesn't use systemd. It's a pretty minimal install, too. ~~NixOS can also likely be configured the way you want, though I don't know much about how to set up your config file to achieve your specific goals.~~

~~Another option might be to use Fedora CoreOS or Universal Blue uCore and just rolling your own downstream distro.~~

Edit: got carried away, as those last three options are all immutable.
