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

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

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

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

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