+<h1>How I do my Computing</h1>

+<a href="//stallman.org/stallman-computing.html">rms</a> and

+
+<h2>Computers</h2>
+<p>My main computer is a
+soon-to-be-<a href="https://libreboot.org">librebooted</a>
+ThinkPad X200. This is the machine I use the most in or out the
+house. I also own and occasionally use a Dell XPS 15 more as a
+“Desktop”, and a ThinkPad X220T tablet I use when reading
+(and annotating) research papers.</p>
+
+<p>I also have the privilege of having access to a fleet of beefy
+servers through our school's
+<a href="https://csclub.uwaterloo.ca">Computer Science Club</a>,
+which I use for some heavier computations every now and
+again.</p>
+
+<h2>GNU/Linux distros</h2>
+<p>I've used a large number of GNU/Linux distributions throughout the
+years, but as of late, my favourite distros are
+<a href="//trisquel.info">Trisquel</a>,
+<a href="//guix.gnu.org">Guix System</a>, and
+<a href="//www.debian.org">Debian</a> (with no <code>contrib</code> or
+<code>non-free</code>). I mostly use the
+<a href="//www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linux-libre/">GNU Linux-libre</a> kernel.
+Guix System comes with GNU Linux-libre out of the box, and on
+Debian-based distros I install it from jxself's
+<a href="//jxself.org/linux-libre/">APT repository</a>.</p>
+
+<h2>Actual computing</h2>
+<p>I spend most of my time in
+<a href="//www.gnu.org/software/emacs/">GNU Emacs</a>.</p>
+<p>TODO: elaborate</p>
+
+<h2>Cell phone</h2>
+<p>I have an old Nexus 5 I reluctantly use from time to time. It runs
+LineageOS+microG without GApps. Sadly it still requires some blobs
+for functioning. I can't wait for lxo's
+<a href="//www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/blogs/lxo/pub/0G">0G</a> to become a
+reality fast enough.
