Yes, install Ubuntu. On a Mac, even if I turn off Messages, messages still come through[1]. In addition, non-stop reminders or calendar items or upgrade messages that I try to dismiss but keep coming back. In Ubuntu, you will need to turn off their App Store equivalent, then nothing else disturbs me when I don't want it. Meanwhile, Windows 10 actively tries to sabotoge your life. Also, try a Raspberry Pi. Most websites are so painfully slow that is it's not feasible to use, plus Pi should be enough for most coding. [1] Need to turn Messages off in notifications, but there are times I do want to be notified - major pain keep having to go into settings instead of just turn on or off the app.
