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.

Check out NixOS. Your entire OS is essentially in a config file, so if anything ever happens, you re-spawn your OS and all applications and things are exactly how you had them before. You only have to worry about personal data.
Concerning your personal data, look into getting/setting up a NAS. Can't lose PC data if the data isn't on your PC. lol
