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