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>
