I’ve been using gparted live for the most part to repair all sorts of stuff, but I’m wondering if anyone else has any other more modern recommendations, preferably even ones with Wifi or more graphics card support!

I also find installing deb packages to be way slower than they should be on a modern system (what are deb packages doing that alpine apk and arch packages don’t??)

Bonus if they boot fast, too.

    That’s exactly how it works. And every time you boot to the USB drive you’re presented a boot menu with a list of isos. You pick the iso you want and then it boots normally to that iso.

    So it’s two pieces of magic that make my life easy.

    1. I just copy the iso to the USB drive.
    2. The boot menu is automatically refreshed every time you boot using it. No updating the menu required!

    Its one of those things, once I started using it, I can’t imagine how I worked without it.
