15 | <h1>How I do my computing</h1> | |

23 | <h3>Computers</h3> | |
24 | <p> | |
25 | My main computer is a | |
26 | soon-to-be-<a href="https://libreboot.org">librebooted</a> | |
27 | ThinkPad X200. This is the machine I use the most in or out | |
28 | the house. I also own and occasionally use a Dell XPS 15 more | |
29 | as a “Desktop”, and a ThinkPad X220T tablet I use when reading | |
30 | (and annotating) research papers. | |
31 | </p> | |

34 | I also have the privilege of having access to a fleet of beefy | |
35 | servers through our school’s | |
36 | <a href="https://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/">Computer Science Club</a>, | |
37 | which I use for some heavier computations every now and | |
38 | again. | |

41 | <h4>GNU/Linux distros</h4> | |
42 | <p> | |
43 | I’ve used a large number of GNU/Linux distributions | |
44 | throughout the years, but as of late, my favourite distros | |
45 | are | |
46 | <a href="https://guix.gnu.org">Guix System</a>, | |
47 | <a href="https://trisquel.info">Trisquel</a>, and | |
48 | <a href="https://www.debian.org">Debian</a> (with no | |
49 | <code>contrib</code> or <code>non-free</code>). | |
50 | I mostly use the | |
51 | <a href="https://www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linux-libre/">GNU Linux-libre</a> | |
52 | kernel. Guix System comes with GNU Linux-libre out of | |
53 | the box, and on Debian-based distros I install it from | |
54 | jxself’s | |
55 | <a href="https://jxself.org/linux-libre/">APT repository</a>. | |

58 | <h4>Actual computing</h4> | |
59 | <p> | |
60 | I spend most of my time inside | |
61 | <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/">GNU Emacs</a>. | |
62 | </p> | |

64 | <h3>Cell phone</h3> | |
65 | <p> | |
66 | I have an old Nexus 5 I reluctantly use from time to time. | |
67 | It runs LineageOS+microG without GApps. Sadly it still | |
68 | requires some blobs for functioning. I can’t wait for lxo’s | |
69 | <a href="https://www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/blogs/lxo/pub/0G">0G</a> | |
70 | to become a reality fast enough :) | |
