I have become attrached to the idea of using a totally marxist set up for my writing.
For a modern OS developed in a socialist country I'd go with Deepin. It's currently Debian based but I think the developers are working on their own base.
If your looking for an AES distro that will likely be easier to find and update, there's always Deepin.
It's a type writer connected to the internet. You'll probably want those updates to at least cover discovered security vulnerabilities.
What if it was never given access to anything but my local network? Not trying to ask stupid questions. I know literally only enough to be dangerous to myself.
Is that local network isolated from the internet? No connection, or no port forwarding?
Either way I wouldn't recommend it.
