Also how would go about having everything stored and configurated in an emergency situation where you wanted to do offline computing? Consider other possible scenarios where you may need software to run windows software, etc; as well such as Wine?
the same one that i always use regardless of internet connection
Gentoo like a real man.
Have a mid-range PC to run Windows 7 and make sure to have the appropriate hardware to do a proper virtualization of Windows 9X OS's in case you need DOS or any older Windows software/games. Next I would also attempt to have a macbook with at least Snow Leopard on it. Then as far as Linux due to it's compatibility with almost anything. I would use Arch Linux with Wine on an average machine, maybe Artix or Devuan with something a bit more lightweight, and then perhaps antiX or bunsenlabs/archlabs depending on your knowledge and software needs. I would also have a bunch of prepackaged repositories set up for this locally on an external HDD or perhaps a machine just in case of this situational occurrence. You probably will need NET files and DLL files for Wine. Don't forget to back up builds properly for future use as well. Good luck, I'm on your side. Let's still attempt to have some computing in a shit hole dystopian cucked world.
Oh and don't forget a cheap laptop and single board computer. Something that could potentially be charged with solar would be highly recommended.

very lazy post from op not even describing his linux or his "emergency" situation. here ill spend some time enlightening you.
i use openbsd for everything that is not a game.
if i face times without internet i am fine since i like to make sure i own all my content which is stored on openbsd raid.
openbsd is stable unlike unstable linux like gentoo and arch where if you dont update for a week your system breaks so you can have openbsd offline for long time and be fine.
for extended periods of time you can easily mirror openbsd pub and just toss it on your lan server and use custom dns and boom you have rows of computers working fine with ability to install whatever packages you mirrored.
now for linux ive always had a problem with it.
its just a disaster by design. used to use slackware for a while but got tired of its flaws and switched and have been using enterprise linux now and found it more stable actually. only problem is enterprise linux has zero packages such as vlc so ive been just been writing my own rpm or just taking some from fedora src repo and compile myself. flatpak kind of helps.
LONG STORY SHORT
make sure you enjoy and mastered your operating system.
have your own server with raid and just mirror entire pub.
own your own content by cracking and decrypting protection.
in my opinion the internet is not going anywhere since it is crucial to elites plans. the most that will happen is internet censorship or device restriction to which i2p and your own will can solve.
even if internet did dissapear id say good riddence.
i preferred the time when people used computers as tools and not computers make people into tools.
TRON is the Japanese and worldwide computer project from 1984.
TRON has been started by Dr. Ken Sakamura of University of Tokyo.
DO YOU KNOW TRON ?
TRON is anti-UNIX.
TRON is NOT UNIX.
TRON is TRON.
UNIX is a machine on your machine.
TRON is an extension of your brain.
E.g...
Mac is a daughter of UNIX.
Win is a bastard of UNIX.
Linuxes are sons of UNIX.
Their are Abrahams as UNIX's sons.
But,
TRON is Amaterasu as it be from 0.
Because,
UNIX has a directory type filesystem.
TRON has a network type filesystem.
It is called "Jisshin/Kashin(Entity/Avatar) System"
;real object/virtual object system.
("Jisshin/Kashin system" was named from ancient Indian philosophies).
Jisshin/Kashin System is light.
Jisshin/Kashin System is good feel.
Jisshin/Kashin System is deep.
For,
UNIX is a machine on your machine.
TRON is an extension of your brain.
NOW, show TRON, know TRON and sow TRON into your mind and brain.
Dive in TRON and your brain by the network system.
"Net's world is boundless-dawa.", Major Motoko Kusanagi said.
linux mint!

The Japanese are cucks and "open-source" their shit "software" (besides ruby, Yukihiro is my nigga), instead of - I don't know, using the GPL, which is an American(r) PRODUCT ;-)
" free software means users have the four essential freedoms: (0) to run the program, (1) to study and change the program in source code form, (2) to redistribute exact copies, and (3) to distribute modified versions."
Yesyesyes;;;
Anyway, fuck TRON, Dr. Ken Sakamura vs Dr. Stallman (Stallman wins) (eat OR rape), word to your mother.
VC:reith
TRON and GNU are SHIT.
Dr. Ken Sakamura and Dr. Stallman FAILED.
BSD still going on strong! Stallman cultists will repeat BSD is for cuckolds! It is abused by companies!
Yet I always see companies make money off GNU and related technologies and never see companies touch BSD (except FreeBSD which is also SHIT).
VC:deett
PuppyLinux or Tails.
Void Linux or a BSD with good documentation. Something with good documentation and not overly integrated with online systems.
A Windows OS would be better because it has more actually useful stuff out of the box and is easier to use without being forced to look for help/documentation on the internet.
The biggest disadvantage of Windows (and why I use Linux) is the spyware and bad security, but if you're not going to have Internet anyway, then those aren't real problems.

I tried to run openBSD on my machine, it is the ABSOLUTE SHITE, it didn't even boot.
Anything that’s stable and comes with GCC out of the box
Devuan if you're normal
OpenBSD if you're a schizo
Windows 10 LTSC if you're a gamer (or normal)
ReactOS if you're a schizo that knows how to act normal
Moebuntu if you're a troon
In an apocalypse situation where the world has no internet due to some kind of disaster, I would say you'd want something like collapse OS or dusk OS, along with perhaps packet radio for internet-like communications. In a regular situation where you're just going to be offline for some time, I don't see which linux distro you choose mattering all that much, since most major distros support most of the software you could need.
In a post-apocalyptic world would you even have access to electricity? Assuming nobody can operate electrical plants or pipe oil your machines would be dependant on natural energy sources or powered by pre-apocalypse batteries. It would have to be a tough machine that is extremely power efficient. Then its just a matter of having a Unix like OS that could run on such hardware that comes with a text editor and all the essential programs. The network infastructure for modern telecomms and the internet should still be intact even if its in ruins. So there should be no problem in creating computer networks if there are enough people willing to start one up.

Electricity via solar for powering a personal machine should be fairly trivial to set up assuming you can scavenge the parts. Power for all of the internet infrastructure seems a bit out of reach though
This is a question with infinity answers because without internet all you care about is it not breaking itself. So i recommend whatever you are already used to.
Debian would work pretty well without internet, it can install from archives burned to DVD. It also has documentation for programs included in the packaging system, therefore very easy to download the entire Python manual, or read the Debian reference book to help you configure anything you might want.
