If you have an Windows account you also can recover it from any desaster with one click, restoring the system.

Only if there's enough of the operating system left to successfully boot and restore itself. If not, good luck.

I can resuscitate a broken Debian setup by booting a USB installer and reinstalling all of the packages on it, assuming the dpkg database /var/lib/dpkg/status is still intact. I can also back up the entire system, apps and all, and later restore everything; there are no hidden secret invisible file shenanigans like on Windows.
