How pracitcal of a choice is red star os for my type writer machine? It doesn't need to do much besides send emails and use vim.

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.

Hmm ok. What are the features of Deepin?

It honestly has one of the most beautiful desktop environments out there. It also has a full suite of apps similar to GNOME. There are tour videos on YouTube if you search for one.

Use an OS that receives updates

Why are updates important for a type writer?

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.

You can do whatever you want. You said email in the title so I was going off based on that.
