If Linux would like to bulletproof then they would implement ZFS Boot Environments that FreeBSD has with beadm(8) or bectl(8) tools. With ZFS Boot Environments you can change any aspect of the system/upgrade everything/change packages and even leave system in totally broken state ... and just reboot to one of other Boot Environments that you created earlier - once you 'got it' how awesome and useful that is - you will want that everywhere.

openSUSE, Spiral Linux, Garuda Linux and siduction can all do the Btrfs eequivalent of this. AIUI, Void Linux is actively working on this, and it's not the only one -- I think, from faint recollection, Chimera Linux and NixOS are working on ZFS support too. SUSE and Red Hat won't touch it because of the fear of legal action from Oracle. Oracle itself won't touch it, even though it'd be a huge win for Oracle Linux -- I strongly suspect because that would legitimise other distros. It's a shame Ubuntu is backing away from it, but now it is, it's opening the door for other distros.
