I personally always have one USB stick with me that has a live usb boot of Fedoraon it, but I just saw the new video from Linus tech tips and thought about extending it a bit.
He mostly talked about windows tools, but I think I will add
- https://www.ventoy.net/en/download.html for maybe an additional Linux light version
- https://github.com/TheWaWaR/simple-http-server if I have to share files from a broken Computer or so.
What are you using or do you have recommendations?
Definitely, besides playing around with it and booting it on random Laptops, I revived two notebooks on the go. One had a broken windows install(somehow the main C drive nuked itself into 8 separate partitions) and she was still running Linux 1 month after that so I guess a win, and the other windows “Laptop” was super laggy(3-4 Gib of ram), but I granted the machine another two solid years(one time laptop run out of power during an big update, rest was great).
