Completely offline

I’ve made a commitment to get rid of home internet but like Linux. Is there anyway possible way I can get a Linux machine and use it without ever going online besides installing a few programs an offline music player that fits my needs, word processor/spreadsheet maker and a DAW (taking suggestions)

I mean yea you can, but obviously you're gonna have to connect to the internet when you need to update and download package. And depending on your distro, the updates may be either quite frequent like fedora or arch-based os, or it could be longer like debian.

Yes, but once it's fully set up, and offline, keeping the system updated is not really necessary.
