23 <h3>Computers</h3>
24 <p>
25 My main computer is a
26 soon-to-be-<a href="https://libreboot.org">librebooted</a>
27 ThinkPad X200. This is the machine I use the most in or out
28 the house. I also own and occasionally use a Dell XPS 15 more
29 as a “Desktop”, and a ThinkPad X220T tablet I use when reading
30 (and annotating) research papers.

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

41 <h4>GNU/Linux distros</h4>
42 <p>
43 I’ve used a large number of GNU/Linux distributions
44 throughout the years, but as of late, my favourite distros
45 are
46 <a href="https://guix.gnu.org">Guix&nbsp;System</a>,
47 <a href="https://trisquel.info">Trisquel</a>, and
48 <a href="https://www.debian.org">Debian</a> (with no
49 <code>contrib</code> or <code>non-free</code>).
50 I mostly use the
51 <a href="https://www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linux-libre/">GNU Linux-libre</a>
52 kernel. Guix&nbsp;System comes with GNU Linux-libre out of
53 the box, and on Debian-based distros I install it from
54 jxself’s
55 <a href="https://jxself.org/linux-libre/">APT repository</a>.

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

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