Ask HN: Air gapped computer to avoid distractions when being creative?

Curious if anyone has tried this. I'm considering an air gapped computer not for security, but for creative hobbies. The benefits being less distractions and no updates getting in the way or breaking things. Software tools to temporarily remove distractions haven't been successful for me. I just turn them off in frustration. I'm often using ~50 individual software/plugins, so it can also be frustrating to open a project and see update notifications or that a plugin somehow broke since I last opened it. It's rare that any of these updates provide any meaningful value, too. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. In general, I imagine a separate desk and device could be beneficial for getting in the zone as well.
