<h1>How I do my Computing</h1>

<a href="https://stallman.org/stallman-computing.html">rms</a></p>

<h2>Computers</h2>
<p>My <a href="https://libreboot.org">librebooted</a> ThinkPad X200
computer is the machine I use the most and where I do most of my
computing.  I also have the privilege of having access to a fleet of
servers through our school's
<a href="https://csclub.uwaterloo.ca">Computer Science Club</a> that I
use for some more computationally intensive tasks every now and again,
and also for hosting this very website.</p>

<h2>GNU/Linux distribution</h2>
<p>I used a wide variety of distros over the years; but I have since
found <a href="https://trisquel.info">Trisquel</a> to be my favourite
and it's put my "distro-hopping" days behind me.  Sometimes I pair it
up with <a href="https://guix.gnu.org">GNU Guix</a>.  For the kernel,
I usually use
<a href="https://www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linux-libre/">GNU
Linux-libre</a> from jxself's
<a href="https://jxself.org/linux-libre/">APT repository</a>.</p>

<h2>Actual computing</h2>
<p>I spend most of my time in
<a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/">GNU Emacs</a>.</p>
<p>TODO: elaborate</p>
