I wish there was a dedicated distraction-free OS. I would just install it on my old MacBook Air.

A word processor and a basic file system (with possibly a link to Dropbox or something). That's it.

That would be amazing.

I have been wondering if something like https://gtoolkit.com/ would fit the bill, though I have to admit I find it a bit hard to grok. But having a form of interactive notebook running as an OS on a simple device could be a really powerful computing experience.

Hi, thanks for sharing the Glamorous Toolkit; I have looked into it in the past, and it reminds me of Emacs 'modability'.

I'm working on a blog post about what a dedicated distraction-free OS would look like.
