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.

What work are you trying to do? Because "Without internet access, as few programs as possible and with a layout that is designed to be boring."

Looks like conditions that could be met with a piece of paper - not being sarcastic - sometimes a computer is too much of a distraction and sketching out an idea or writing a first draft on paper is massivly beneficial to overall productivity.

Im interested in structuring information. So for example editing text, using spreadsheets or mindmapping.

Check out FreeDOS. It ships a text editor. You can find more than one spreadsheet application on archive.org. I'm not sure about mind maps though. Also, internet works if you want it to but it's totally optional.
