/g/ents, I have a laptop lying around and I want to use it as a simple word processor to let me write without distractions, which distro would be most comfy for that purpose?
I've only used ubuntu.

While you do have a point, I'd very much like to be able to easily save and transfer my work online. Also fuck George RR Martin and his pretentious dos word processor

OpenBSD, your wifi won't work.
use asciidoc for your semantic formatting.

Distraction-free doesn't work unless you use a type-writer.

still looks distracting. I wouldn't even boot into X. emacs/vim and knowledge of asciidoc is all that is needed.

LITERALLY any OS is good for writing, install gentoo so you can brag about it on /g/ later.

Any distro is fine if you disable the GUI and use a terminal-based text editor.
