There is a new procedure now published by Apple for restoring one's
Apple computer to an earlier time.

Full details here:- https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT203981

Over the last 15 years I've probably only done it half a dozen times.

Otherwise I would use a OS I really trust.

For you youngsters .........

There are just two types of hard drives:-

1. Those that have failed, and

2. Those that are GOING to fail.

It's not until you have lost all your photographs the for the very first
time that you will really understand the importance of back-ups! ;-)

If you find that the macOS is just too difficult for you to handle, you
can, if you wish, run a Linux distro of your choice on the hardware.

Guess, what I do for many years. I do not talk about it, I just do it.
My MBAir works very well with Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.03.
