I think OpenBSD has most of what I listed, but lacks hardware support. Using a computer's CPU to its full extent is nice too. I'm usually running apache with at least 10 virtual instances and other servers, with 2 web browsers open, 5 terminals and a bunch of text editing windows (can you guess what I do yet?). I also like playing games the odd time, because some people just can't code for 50 years straight. If I did zero web development I think I'd be running OpenBSD, or hell even Plan 9, already full-time. I ran Plan 9 full-time once on my netbook, but couldn't deal with no Wi-Fi. I even had to look through Intel video driver source code for Linux to adjust the backlight. That was pretty awesome actually. Thankfully I didn't nuke the LCD. If you don't game, don't care about performance and peripherals, you can essentially run any OS of your choice. VGA support is fairly simple to implement as well as PS/2 devices from what I've observed (but I've never done this).
