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

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

        <h4>GNU/Linux distros</h4>
        <p>
          I’ve used a large number of GNU/Linux distributions
          throughout the years, but as of late, my favourite distros
          are
          <a href="https://guix.gnu.org">Guix&nbsp;System</a>,
          <a href="https://trisquel.info">Trisquel</a>, and
          <a href="https://www.debian.org">Debian</a> (with no
          <code>contrib</code> or <code>nonfree</code>).  I’m also
          hoping to find some free time to help with the
          <a href="https://lists.nongnu.org/r/gnewsense-dev/2019-08/msg00001.html">rebooting</a>
          of <a href="http://www.gnewsense.org">gNewSense</a>.
          I mostly use the
          <a href="https://www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linux-libre/">Linux-libre</a>
          kernel.  Guix&nbsp;System comes with Linux-libre by default,
          and on Debian-based distros I install it from jxself’s
          <a href="https://jxself.org/linux-libre/">APT repository</a>.
        </p>

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

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