Wanted to hop in here real fast and say:
Pop!_OS, which is my primary distro (with Fedora being my secondary),
has the option to go into recovery (has a small partition just for
up-to-date recovery media) and reinstall your OS without losing any
personal files.
AFAIK, it's one of the only distributions that has something like it.
By default, Fedora does that as well (and probably most current Linux
distros). You can re-install the OS and as long as you use the same
/home partition and don't format it, you won't lose any personal files.
Unless you're referring to the recovery partition, which isn't really
that useful, since you'll likely either still have the original install
media or you'll want to download the latest version anyway.
