Are there any operating system designed to be as distraction free as possible?

Without internet access, as few programs as possible and with a layout that is designed to be boring.

    You can configure NixOS to have as little or as much as you want by setting the right options. Guix is much the same.

    Arch also allows customising to a similar level but that’s less… configuring and more installing things and tweaking stuff here and there.

      10000 options whoa. Is there a howto you’d recommend for navigating those? Or maybe an example config if I want the experience limited to a text editor and an nfs mount.

        The default configuration generated by nixos-generate-config is a good starting point. From there you can probably find more things to disable or trim down. environment.systemPackages and environment.defaultPackages for example are lists you can make very short.
