You're right but that wasn't my point. I didn't say you can't recover easily from Linux, I said it's just as likely to break your shit through an update as any other OS.
It isn't though, even when it did, ah let's say 15 years ago I could always repair it when it booted into terminal or with a resqueCD. The same can't be said about Windows, that's usually because GNU/Linux had sane filesystem which Windows never had.
