Minix 3.3 or 3.4 RC 6. It basically uses clang compiler and the NetBSD package base. Using a microkernel as a desktop leaves you in a generally no worse off position than using something like Linux or Windows. Unless you are intending to do specific high performance work, then you probably won't see much or any difference. I am currently using a Toshiba NB500 netbook running Centos 6.9 as my machine due to having to support a number of other Centos 6.9 systems. But I am intending to shift to Minix 3.4 in the latter part of 2017 or early 2018 for doing certain kinds of development work that I am interested in. If you have the resources and time, give a variety of systems a go and see what gives you a better bang for your buck for your circumstances.
