Living between Aubervilliers city and Limoges city, I'm part of an incubator for the state in employment sector. I use Archlinux on an old MacBookAir from 2010, and Archlinux works far way better than the apple OS X system causing a lot of noises with a fan always on super activity...
My first computer was an Amstrad CPC6128, I learn to program some basics on it. I spent a lof of time on Atari ST512 to make some MAO music with few MIDI instruments. Follow up by a used MAC LC bought cheaper than a new one, the Apple saga computer then started, with good and les good device.
Some Apple devices I owned
And now for my job I'm using a Lenovo Carbon X1 with Archlinux
I studied Art and completly stop, the world of contemporary is far far away from my interest. Contemporary is certainly the most capitalistic things you can do ! I suggest to read a very good paper about one of the most great living artist Vim Delvoye, one ot this artist that make crystal clear about the non sense of what is contemporay art (In the french book, Désert de la critque de Renaud Garcia)
So now, I read about radical ecology, feminism, anti-capitalism and anarchy books. Try to start to grow some vegetables, love spend time in nature outside when I'm not lost in a screen.
Some books I particulary apreciate
