This is very easily mitigatable.
Set your root and home partitions seperately. Keep a text file of all the applications you install (preferably as a script).
When you break it, reinstall the OS, and relink the home partition. Run the script to reinstall your applications. Done.
Certainly takes less time than reinstalling Windows or even asking it to fix itself.
