@itsfoss
Good practices keep this from being a problem. You keep your data and your OS separate. You make regular backups that you keep off of your hard drive.

I'm super bad about updating a couple of my machines and when they get over a couple years old I expect this.

I also expect the reinstall which takes about 20 minutes as opposed to 2+ hours with Windows.

And for the record my windows machines and windows in general crash and burn a LOT more often than Linux.

@avlcharlie We agree, Windows' track record is worse.
