From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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.
Also, not that it matters much, but it has a strong stance towards open-source software, not allowing closed software in its repositories. Although closed software can be installed by using RPMFusion
I think Fedora finds a good balance that
This was my immediate thought. It ticks all the boxes.
