The last time i had Linux break after an update was around 2015 with Arch, but that is a rolling distro and during a time when rolling distros weren't as stable as nowadays. Before that it was with Ubuntu in the late 2000s but that was with a full system upgrade that you have to explicitly do manually. I wouldn't expect a "fixed" version distro to break nowadays because of updates. Also FWIW openSUSE does provide recovery support[0] as it uses Btrfs snapshots before and after package installations and upgrades (as well as during some other events, including taking a snapshot periodically - these are deleted after a while or if they start taking too much space) and you can roll them back either manually or even boot from a snapshot in case something goes wrong. I haven't really had a need for it so i can't exactly tell you how useful that would be (or to compare it with Windows since i never used Windows' system restore either), but it does sound like it'd provide the same or at least very similar functionality.
