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.

Yep, one thing about a headset is that it monopolizes your vision and if you can build the virtual environment, you can choose what is and isn't there. After getting bored with the apps and games on the Quest I decided to explore the most basic part of it, the home environments. In that environment it's possible to open up multiple browsers so I opened one to a CryptoPad, connected a bluetooth keyboard and simply sat there noting problems with the environment and experience.

Since then, I found an app/framework called Lovr that enabled me to build the environment I want in Lua and to chip away at the issues I found. Forked a virtual development environment called indeck to suit my needs here https://github.com/weex/indeck/issues
