I yearn for the old workstation of old that were just for work and couldn't be used for entertainment.

Huh? That is as simple as not installing any games on your computer, using GPUs like Quadros if you do CAD, and using quality components that don't have 1000 RGB LEDS all over them. This is not impossible to do.

so you don't get distracted by video or pretty articles. and it's an exclusive coding machine.

Ok so don't install a browser if you really can't control yourself from being distracted by the internet. Install a block list of all news sites, social media, and whatever sites you waste time on if you need to go online.

There's an eink typewriter for that purpose - although I can't say that I've tried it -

Based on most reviews I've seen, it's less useful than a $30 AlphaSmart Neo (which I own, and quite like)
