Free and open-source.

Receives regular software and kernel updates.

Avoids X11.

The notable exception is Qubes, but the isolation issues which X11 typically has are avoided by virtualization. This isolation only applies to apps running in different qubes (virtual machines), apps running in the same qube are not protected from each other.

Supports full-disk encryption during installation.

Doesn’t freeze regular releases for more than 1 year.

We recommend against “Long Term Support” or “stable” distro releases for desktop usage.

Supports a wide variety of hardware.

Preference towards larger projects.

Edit: I’m new to linux

    I’d say Archl``inux

    Foss

    Bleeding edge updates

    Only uses X11 if you install it (same for wayland)

    Supports disk encryption

    Cannot freeze regular releases as there is only one wich get constant updates (rolling release)

    As stabel & LTS as you make it

    Supports latest harware

    Not quite sure what you mean with larger projects but arch is a minimal distro as in you have to install almost everything yourself
