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.

Ok, I understand what you meant, thanks.

Basically, after I’ve read all of that, it’s clear as day that security is not a priority on Testing. And while band-aid solutions do exist, it’s simply not designed to be secure.

Yeah, I wouldn't run it in a production environment.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity for a refresh 😛. And thank you for the very civilized conversation. I wish you a great day!
