COMPUTERS

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

GNU/LINUX DISTRIBUTION

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

ACTUAL COMPUTING

  I spend most of my time in GNU Emacs[7].
