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.
