21 <h1>How I do my computing</h1>

 <p>by <a href="https://bndl.org"><b>bandali</b></a>

 on 14 September 2019 <small>(last update: 28 February 2021)

 (also in <a href="bandali-computing.txt">plain text</a>)</small></p>

26 <p class="box">inspired by the computing page of

 <a href="https://stallman.org/stallman-computing.html">rms</a></p>

29 <h2>Computers</h2>

 <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

 <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>

38 <h2>GNU/Linux distribution</h2>

39 <p>I used a wide variety of distros over the years; but I have since

 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

 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

 <a href="https://jxself.org/linux-libre/">APT repository</a>.</p>

48 <h2>Actual computing</h2>

49 <p>I spend most of my time in

 <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/">GNU Emacs</a>.</p>
