From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I had windows update recently, but apparently the update failed at some point.... Which windows decided to ignore all my other backups and go with a 3 year old on, deleting 3 years of my data overnight.
Fuck Microsoft, I'll never wander back to Windows, I've had some issues with getting Linux going for 1 or two things, beyond that it has been a night and day difference. My system just works and my shit hasn't disappeared (well, 1 failed install, but I don't speak of that 🤪).
Linux is the only path I see forward anymore
I feel your pain.
I now keep my data backup separate to the OS backups, so a rollback might time travel me back 3 years, but my data's safe... elsewhere...
(Sure. I might still have to do a restore...)
