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.

I'd recommend you to make backups either way. I've had a SSD with SMART status "good" very suddenly die before, so don't take any chances!
Yeah, I keep everything important backed up. I'm definitely fine if it dies. I'm just curious really.
This happened to me a few weeks ago and the pain is still fresh. Please tell us your data is safely backed up, OP.
Always have backups. "If you only have one, you have none".
