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

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