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.

    As an All-In-One, I use Parted Magic

    It costs money, but I use it for work, so the money is totally worth it, just for the GUI environment.

    But, for most things, all I ever need is gparted, smartctl / smartmon and maybe grub - I believe all that’s on Arch ISO

    Oh, and CloneZilla…

      Yeah, I ended up just tossing another $15 at Parted Magic. It really just has all the tools you want on in one place. Great for recovery or destruction.
