| 8 | COMPUTERS |
| 9 | |
| 10 | My librebooted[1] ThinkPad X200 computer is the machine I use the |
| 11 | most and where I do most of my computing. I also have the privilege |
| 12 | of having access to a fleet of servers through our school's Computer |
| 13 | Science Club[2] that I use for some more computationally intensive |
| 14 | tasks every now and again. |

| 20 | GNU/LINUX DISTRIBUTION |
| 21 | |
| 22 | I used a wide variety of distros over the years; but I have |
| 23 | since found Trisquel[3] to be my favourite and it's put my |
| 24 | ``distro-hopping'' days behind me. Sometimes I pair it up with |
| 25 | GNU Guix[4]. For the kernel, I usually use GNU Linux-libre[5] |
| 26 | from jxself's APT repository[6]. |

| 34 | ACTUAL COMPUTING |
| 35 | |
| 36 | I spend most of my time in GNU Emacs[7]. |
