Hmm, hahaha, is this a troll? Was there anything ever more self-destructive than Windows? It regularly shot itself in the foot, you didn't even have to do anything. Yes, you can have a backup and restore kind of thing on Linux. But you have to set something up first. If you haven't done that, then you can boot from something else and put back the files you destroyed. Or you can re-install. Windows was exactly the same. If you didn't prepare ahead of time for the oncoming disaster, your recourse was usually a re-install. With all the fun and games that involved for your OS and all your programs, finding all your registration details, or paying for them again because you can't. Likewise with Macs. If you want restore points, or whatever name they call it, you have to set it up beforehand. I can't say that I've ever hosed a Linux install in the somewhere around 20 years I've been using it for. But I've had Windows bollix itself up quite severely, many times. It does it all by itself quite happily, *you* don't have to be messing around with system files for it to kill itself. It can mangle its brains simply booting up or shutting down, and doing a Windows update that it controlled entirely by itself was another round of russian roulette. -- NB: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
