I'd really like to have a good USB key to boot from when some kind of problem happens. Typically I use whatever installation media is lying around but they have really limited tools available. Not to mention tres obnoxious defaults like transparent terminals. Drive me nuts when some catastrophe is going on and the terminal is resetting to 50% opacity at every reboot.
Is there some kind of general purpose image that has a variety of programs, maybe even foundational documentation on board, etc, that is designed for this? There are images like clonezilla to solve specific problems but that's another story. I would like a multi tool on hand.
I use one usb https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html You can drop on it multiple iso images to boot from. I use https://www.system-rescue.org/Download/ iso + other iso images like clonezilla and an live Ubuntu iso -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. www.avast.com
