29<h2>Computers</h2>
30<p>My <a href="https://libreboot.org">librebooted</a> ThinkPad X200
31computer is the machine I use the most and where I do most of my
32computing. I also have the privilege of having access to a fleet of
33servers through our school's
34<a href="https://csclub.uwaterloo.ca">Computer Science Club</a> that I
35use for some more computationally intensive tasks every now and
36again.</p>
37
38<h2>GNU/Linux distribution</h2>
39<p>I used a wide variety of distros over the years; but I have since
40found <a href="https://trisquel.info">Trisquel</a> to be my favourite
41and it's put my "distro-hopping" days behind me. Sometimes I pair it
42up with <a href="https://guix.gnu.org">GNU Guix</a>. For the kernel,
43I usually use
44<a href="https://www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linux-libre/">GNU
45Linux-libre</a> from jxself's
46<a href="https://jxself.org/linux-libre/">APT repository</a>.</p>
47
48<h2>Actual computing</h2>
49<p>I spend most of my time in
50<a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/">GNU Emacs</a>.</p>
