12<h2>Computers</h2>
13<p>My main computer is a
14soon-to-be-<a href="https://libreboot.org">librebooted</a>
15ThinkPad X200. This is the machine I use the most in or out the
16house. I also own and occasionally use a Dell XPS 15 more as a
17&ldquo;Desktop&rdquo;, and a ThinkPad X220T tablet I use when reading
18(and annotating) research papers.</p>

20<p>I also have the privilege of having access to a fleet of beefy
21servers through our school's
22<a href="https://csclub.uwaterloo.ca">Computer Science Club</a>,
23which I use for some heavier computations every now and
24again.</p>

26<h2>GNU/Linux distros</h2>
27<p>I've used a large number of GNU/Linux distributions throughout the
28years, 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.
34Guix&nbsp;System comes with GNU Linux-libre out of the box, and on
35Debian-based distros I install it from jxself's
36<a href="//jxself.org/linux-libre/">APT repository</a>.</p>

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>

43<h2>Cell phone</h2>
44<p>I have an old Nexus 5 I reluctantly use from time to time. It runs
45LineageOS+microG without GApps. Sadly it still requires some blobs
46for functioning. I can't wait for lxo's
47<a href="//www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/blogs/lxo/pub/0G">0G</a> to become a
48reality fast enough.
