-How I do my computing
+by bandali +on 14 September 2019 (last update: 28 February 2021) +(also in plain text)
-Computers
-- My main computer is a - soon-to-be-librebooted - 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 âDesktopâ, and a ThinkPad X220T tablet I use when - reading (and annotating) research papers. -
+inspired by the computing page of +rms
-- I also have the privilege of having access to a fleet of - beefy servers through our schoolâs - Computer Science Club, - which I use for some heavier computations every now and - again. -

-GNU/Linux distros
-
- Iâve used a large number of GNU/Linux distributions
- throughout the years, but as of late, my favourite distros
- are
- Guix System,
- Trisquel, and
- Debian (with no
- contrib
or nonfree
). Iâm also
- hoping to find some free time to help with the
- rebooting
- of gNewSense.
- I mostly use the
- Linux-libre
- kernel. Guix System comes with Linux-libre by default,
- and on Debian-based distros I install it from jxselfâs
- APT repository.

GNU/Linux distribution
+I used a wide variety of distros over the years; but I have since +found Trisquel to be my favourite +and it's put my "distro-hopping" days behind me. Sometimes I pair it +up with GNU Guix. For the kernel, +I usually use +GNU +Linux-libre from jxself's +APT repository.
-Actual computing
-- I spend most of my time inside - GNU Emacs. -

+TODO: elaborate
-Cell phone
-- 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 canât wait for lxoâs - 0G - to become a reality fast enough :) -
