  12 <h2>Computers</h2>
  13 <p>My main computer is a <a href="//libreboot.org">librebooted</a>
  14 ThinkPad X200, and is the machine I use the most.  I also own a
  15 ThinkPad X220T tablet that I occasionally use for reading and
  16 annotating research papers, and a Dell XPS 15 I use every now and
  17 again more as a &ldquo;desktop&rdquo;.</p>
  18
  19 <p>I also have the privilege of having access to a fleet of beefy
  20 servers through our school's
  21 <a href="//csclub.uwaterloo.ca">Computer Science Club</a>, which I use
  22 for some heavier computations every now and again.</p>

  24 <h2>GNU/Linux distros</h2>
  25 <p>I've used a wide variety of GNU/Linux distributions over the years;
  26 but as of late, I find myself using
  27 <a href="//trisquel.info">Trisquel</a>,
  28 <a href="//guix.gnu.org">Guix System</a>, and
  29 <a href="//www.debian.org">Debian</a> (with no <code>contrib</code> or
  30 <code>non-free</code>).  For the kernel, I mostly use
  31 <a href="//www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linux-libre/">GNU
  32 Linux-libre</a>.  Guix&nbsp;System comes with GNU Linux-libre out of
  33 the box, and on Debian-based distros I tend to install it from
  34 jxself's <a href="//jxself.org/linux-libre/">APT repository</a>.</p>
  35
  36 <h2>Actual computing</h2>
  37 <p>I spend most of my time in
  38 <a href="//www.gnu.org/software/emacs/">GNU Emacs</a>.</p>
  39 <p>TODO: elaborate</p>

  41 <h2>Cell phone</h2>
  42 <p>I have an old Nexus 5 I reluctantly use from time to time.  It runs
  43 LineageOS+microG without GApps.  Sadly it still requires some blobs
  44 for functioning.  I can't wait for lxo's
  45 <a href="//www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/blogs/lxo/pub/0G">0G</a> to become a
  46 reality fast enough.
