| 12 | <h2>Computers</h2> |
| 13 | <p>My main computer is a |
| 14 | soon-to-be-<a href="https://libreboot.org">librebooted</a> |
| 15 | ThinkPad X200. This is the machine I use the most in or out the |
| 16 | house. I also own and occasionally use a Dell XPS 15 more as a |
| 17 | “Desktop”, and a ThinkPad X220T tablet I use when reading |
| 18 | (and annotating) research papers.</p> |
| 19 | |
| 20 | <p>I also have the privilege of having access to a fleet of beefy |
| 21 | servers through our school's |
| 22 | <a href="https://csclub.uwaterloo.ca">Computer Science Club</a>, |
| 23 | which I use for some heavier computations every now and |
| 24 | again.</p> |

| 26 | <h2>GNU/Linux distros</h2> |
| 27 | <p>I've used a large number of GNU/Linux distributions throughout the |
| 28 | years, but as of late, my favourite distros are |
| 29 | <a href="//trisquel.info">Trisquel</a>, |
| 30 | <a href="//guix.gnu.org">Guix System</a>, and |
| 31 | <a href="//www.debian.org">Debian</a> (with no <code>contrib</code> or |
| 32 | <code>non-free</code>). I mostly use the |
| 33 | <a href="//www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linux-libre/">GNU Linux-libre</a> kernel. |
| 34 | Guix System comes with GNU Linux-libre out of the box, and on |
| 35 | Debian-based distros I install it from jxself's |
| 36 | <a href="//jxself.org/linux-libre/">APT repository</a>.</p> |
| 37 | |
| 38 | <h2>Actual computing</h2> |
| 39 | <p>I spend most of my time in |
| 40 | <a href="//www.gnu.org/software/emacs/">GNU Emacs</a>.</p> |
| 41 | <p>TODO: elaborate</p> |
| 42 | |
| 43 | <h2>Cell phone</h2> |
| 44 | <p>I have an old Nexus 5 I reluctantly use from time to time. It runs |
| 45 | LineageOS+microG without GApps. Sadly it still requires some blobs |
| 46 | for functioning. I can't wait for lxo's |
| 47 | <a href="//www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/blogs/lxo/pub/0G">0G</a> to become a |
| 48 | reality fast enough. |
