  • I switched from Windows to Kinoite last year because it seemed to be the one distro that actually cared about stability. The first distro I used was Ubuntu 7.04 and until Kinoite I always viewed the Linux desktop as a bit of a joke because it always broke every other update. Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, it didn’t matter which distro I tried, after a few months something broke. I don’t tolerate this on my primary computer so I always switched back to Windows. This is the first time I have ever used a Linux distribution where I can run an major update without worrying if I still have a GUI after the next reboot. So I consider immutable distros a huge success. I don’t think I would still be using Linux without them.

    If anyone was looking for the exact quote its from The Two Towers, Chapter 2 “The Riders of Rohan”.

    “’Riders!’ cried Aragorn, springing to his feet. ‘Many riders on swift steeds are coming towards us!’
    “’Yes,’ said Legolas, ‘there are one hundred and five. Yellow is their hair, and bright are their spears. Their leader is very tall.’
    “Aragorn smiled. ‘Keen are the eyes of the Elves,’ he said.
    “’Nay! The riders are little more than five leagues distant,’ said Legolas.
    “’Five leagues or one,’ said Gimli; ‘we cannot escape them in this bare land. Shall we wait for them here or go on our way?’
