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.

Not sure if I'm helping. But sounds this could also be a X/Y problem... The way to make sure you don't lose data is backups, not something else. I mean your SSD could as well die. Or someone doesn't boot something, but steals the entire device... Or plugs in an USB Zapper. Backups deal with that. And deal with disk wiping as well.
