Recently ditched subscription services because of non-stop price hikes. Now I’m on Navidrome with a VPS and using Ultrasonic on my Android for mobile and Android Auto listening. For music, I turn to good old Soulseek and Telegram bots.
Never going back. The control and savings make it all worth it.
Fedora, maybe?
Edit to make my point:
It is free and open-source.
Fedora has a rather fast release cycle. It offers new versions roughly every 6 months, along with regular package updates.
Has been using Wayland by default since Fedora 25, so it aligns with your preference to avoid X11.
Allows you to set up full-disk encryption.
Doesn’t freeze its regular releases for more than a year.
Supports a wide variety of hardware and aims to offer the latest kernel and drivers.
It is a large project.
