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.

    It’s been a while since I set mine up but iirc yes. Either that or ventoy creates a partition itself during install specifically that it searches to populate the list when you boot it. The nice thing beyond that is it even lets you explore other disks on the system. So if you have other isos on an unencrypted drive installed in the computer you can also browse to that and boot from it.

      This is one of those things I didn’t know I needed. I have so many usb sticks lying around with various troubleshooting isos. This is a game changer.
