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.
I’ll second ventroy. It actually just works.
I have a 256GB usb stick loaded with various install isos. It’s great being able to just copy over the iso instead of having to image them every time I need one.
How does that work exactly? Do you partition the USB drive and make Ventoy bootable in one partition and then put the isos on the other partition or something?
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.
